About this file
This is an Addendum No. 2 to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) for Statewide Well Plugging and Related Services across multiple Oil and Gas Division Districts. The RFQ seeks qualified contractors to perform comprehensive well plugging and abandonment services for orphaned oil, gas, and saltwater disposal wells, with seven specific service categories: routine well plugging, deep well plugging for wells exceeding 10,000 feet, federally funded well plugging, plugging in environmentally sensitive locations, site equipment removal and remediation, emergency response well plugging, and plugging wells near surface freshwater bodies. RFQ responses are due February 18, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, with written inquiries required by January 16, 2026, and Health and Safety Plan (HSP) draft submissions for courtesy review due January 30, 2026. The initial contract term is one year, with potential extensions for up to four additional one-year renewal terms at the RRC's discretion. The contract does not guarantee a specific value but may include federal funding through Department of Interior grant dollars under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
Minimum qualifications require contractors to maintain an active Organization Report (Form P-5) with the RRC, employ or contract with an RRC-approved cementer, demonstrate successful past performance, own necessary equipment, and maintain financial solvency with detailed project experience records and technical capabilities. The procurement includes significant set-aside designations for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs), with 125 qualifying HUBs identified among 221 potential vendors across multiple classification codes including women-owned, Hispanic-owned, African American-owned, Asian-owned, and disadvantaged veteran-owned businesses. Federal funding introduces additional compliance requirements such as Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage standards and Build America Buy America Act provisions. Contractors must be prepared to handle complex environmental remediation tasks potentially including soil remediation, habitat restoration, and carbon credit acquisition. The RRC reserves the right to award multiple contracts and obtain services from various sources, indicating a flexible procurement approach prioritizing qualified, diverse vendors with robust capabilities in well plugging and related environmental services.
