DEP OOG - Methane Emission Quantification

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is issuing a Centralized Request for Proposals (CRFP) for methane emission quantification (MEQ) services. The procurement seeks a vendor to provide direct measurement and screening services for pre-plugging and post-plugging methane emissions from selected oil and natural gas wells, with an estimated 200 units of each service required. The key objectives are to measure methane emissions before and after well plugging, and develop a cost-effective screening protocol to identify leaking wells. Qualified vendors must have experience as "qualified measurement specialists" and comply with methane measurement guidelines established under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical merit and pricing, with the lowest responsive bidder receiving the highest points. The bid due date is August 27, 2024 at 1:30 PM ET.

The CRFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the solicitation does not provide details on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. Similarly, the CRFP does not include information on possible award values or budget ranges for the procurement.
