The IDV is awarded to Sun Valley Oil & Gas LLC, based in Ellenboro, West Virginia, with four designated subcontractors: Appalachian Well Surveys Inc., Huffman-Bowers, Knox Energy Inc., and Triple B Services, LLC. The contract is a mandatory use, competitive selection vehicle with a performance period from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2026. It operates statewide within Ohio and allows the ODNR to procure services on an as-needed basis, with project assignments determined by factors such as statement of work completeness, cost, and funding availability. No guaranteed volume of work is specified, providing flexibility for the state's ongoing orphaned well management initiatives.
