UNSPSC 81141509: Catalyst testing services

Catalyst testing and technical services range from product and process services to in-depth analytical investigations and testing.

UNSPSC 81141509 Catalyst testing services is a Commodity code encompassing well and pump testing, maintenance, and rehabilitation services procured by state and local water, environmental, and energy agencies. State and local governments buy under this code primarily plugging, drilling, and abandonment services for orphaned and producing wells; pump installation, removal, and testing for municipal water systems; well rehabilitation including mechanical brushing, chemical treatment, and video logging; and aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) conversion design and engineering. The issuing bodies span state environmental and energy departments (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Texas General Land Office; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board; Illinois Department of Natural Resources), county utilities and water authorities (Collier County, Marion County, Seminole County, Hillsborough County in Florida; San Bernardino County in California; Volusia County in Florida), municipal water departments (City of Lubbock, City of Bend, City of Palm Bay, Eastern Municipal Water District in California), and special-purpose districts (EMWD in Riverside County). Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy stands out as a repeat buyer, posting four direct solicitations in July 2026 alone for orphan well plugging across multiple counties—New Haven Section 3 (three wells), Section 4 (fourteen wells), Sections 31–33 (nine wells), and Sections 5–10 and Plank (twelve wells)—each with proposals due July 21, 2026, targeting prequalified contractors who attended mandatory pre-proposal meetings on July 9, 2026.

The geographic spread spans Michigan (heavy activity in Gratiot and Montcalm counties for orphan well work), Texas (plugging and high-pressure well services statewide), Mississippi (orphan well plugging in multiple counties), California (well maintenance and ASR projects in Riverside and other counties), Florida (water well construction and rehabilitation across Marion, Collier, Hillsborough, Seminole, Sarasota, and Volusia counties), and scattered procurement in other states including Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Wisconsin, and Colorado. Representative recent opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's direct solicitations (DS7612600000000322, DS7612600000000332, DS7612600000000352, DS7612600000000342, posted July 16, 2026, proposals due July 21, 2026) for orphan well plugging under Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements with unit pricing across 68 line items and technical scoring on key personnel, equipment, experience, and vendor questions; Seminole County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation for Bid (CC710026HSMA, posted July 13, 2026, due August 5, 2026) for wastewater pump station maintenance, repair, and equipment renewal as a master service agreement with task-order work and minimum 51 percent self-performance; San Bernardino County Department of Public Works' on-call well and pump maintenance RFQ (SPD126SPDAD6431, posted July 1, 2026, due August 31, 2026) with a five-year term and $2.8 million maximum value serving 32 water wells and 28 booster pump locations across the county; and Hillsborough County's water well maintenance and repair services ITB (ITB2600234, posted May 19, 2026, due June 12, 2026) for $688,073 covering 67 irrigation and potable water wells across multiple park locations. Orphan well plugging driven by federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding dominates current activity, with multiple states conducting competitively bid or prequalified-list procurements; municipal and county water system upgrades—including new well construction, rehabilitation, pump testing, and ASR conversion—comprise a steady secondary volume.
