Federal Orphaned Well Program - Plug/Abandon IDIQ

The Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service seek proposals for an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract to provide plugging and abandonment services for orphaned oil and gas wells located on federal lands across regions 2 and 3. Under the terms of the IDIQ, contractors will perform site examinations, field sampling, well plugging design, implementation, reclamation and other services. The base period of performance is one year, with four additional one-year options available. Task orders will typically range in value from $10,000 to $350,000. The solicitation is expected to issue in late November to early December 2022, with proposals due approximately 30 days later.

The small business set-aside is designated for total Indian economic enterprises only, under NAICS code 213111 and PSC code R699. The potential value of each award is $50 million per region, with a minimum $25,000 guarantee. Task orders will be issued on an as-needed basis over the five-year ordering period to plug an estimated 1,500 orphaned wells located across Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.
