The Federal Orphaned Program - Plugging and Abandonment is a master indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle designed to address environmental remediation needs for orphaned oil and gas wells on federal lands. The contract supports comprehensive well plugging and abandonment services, including site examination, field sampling, well plugging design, implementation, and reclamation activities. Awarded by the Bureau of Land Management, this contract enables federal agencies to efficiently procure specialized environmental remediation services for legacy wells that have been abandoned by their original operators, with a shared contract ceiling of $50 million.

Task orders under this IDIQ have been awarded to multiple small businesses, predominantly Alaska Native Corporation-owned firms such as Asrc Consulting & Environmental Services, Olgoonik Construction Services, and North Wind Site Services. The delivery orders typically range from $25,000 minimum guarantee task orders to substantial projects exceeding $3.5 million, with performance periods extending through April 2028. Most task orders are firm fixed price and focus on plugging and abandonment efforts in states including Alaska, Wyoming, Colorado, Louisiana, and Arizona. The contracts are frequently set aside for small businesses, with many utilizing total small business or Alaska Native Corporation designations. Primary funding agencies include the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and Department of the Interior, supporting a broad initiative to remediate orphaned wells across federal and tribal lands.
