NIGP 98954: Oil Well Sampling and Core Sample (Billets) Preparation Services

NIGP 98954 Oil Well Sampling And Core Sample (Billets) Preparation Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized geological and hydrocarbon-extraction support services tied to oil and gas exploration and production activities. The code covers the collection, preparation, and analysis of core samples and billet materials extracted from oil wells — work that includes sample handling, preservation, documentation, and readiness for laboratory or field testing. State and local issuing bodies use this code when they hold mineral-extraction interests, manage state-owned or leased oil and gas properties, or administer energy-resource programs that require technical assessment of subsurface geology and reservoir quality.

The source provided does not include recent state or local contract opportunities posted under this code. Without posted solicitations, no issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or representative recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity can be characterized from current market signals.
