About this award
The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a definitive cost-plus-no-fee contract valued at $1.33M to the National Academy of Sciences on September 25, 2023, for the Orphaned Wells Program Office. The contract, which extends through August 1, 2026, responds to a sole-source Special Notice published by the Department of the Interior in May 2023 seeking expert research on existing practices and standards for plugging orphaned and abandoned hydrocarbon wells. Under this engagement, NAS will conduct a comprehensive workshop and subsequent proceedings to deliver an unbiased, expert assessment of current methodologies and best practices in well remediation. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, and performance will be executed from NAS's location in Washington, DC.
The National Academy of Sciences was selected as the sole-source contractor based on its unique qualifications, including its Congressional charter, status as an independent nonprofit organization of distinguished scholars, and proven capacity to provide objective scientific and technical advisory services to federal agencies. This engagement aligns with the Bureau of Reclamation's stewardship of water resources and reflects the Department of the Interior's commitment to addressing the complex environmental and technical challenges associated with orphaned and abandoned wells. NAS's selection underscores the government's reliance on the organization's established expertise in convening multidisciplinary experts and producing rigorous, impartial research to inform federal policy and operational decisions.
