The course curriculum spans three days, with two days covering introduction to well plug and abandonment procedures, wellbore fluids and pressure regimes, kick detection techniques, well control equipment for plug and abandonment, wireline and coil tubing operations, pressure management, control methods, blowout prevention, emergency response, and case studies, and one day addressing well drilling fundamentals and drilling-specific well control operations. The contractor must submit pricing as an all-inclusive per-attendee cost covering travel, hotels, presenter expenses, and all other costs on an F.O.B. Destination/Pre-Paid/Allowed basis. Proposals must be submitted through the Ohio Buys procurement system by the February 20, 2026 deadline, and the State will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The State will apply preference adjustments per Ohio Administrative Code 123:5-1-06, including five percent for Buy American domestic source end products, five percent for Buy Ohio offerors, and two percent for Veteran-Friendly Business certification.

The procurement does not contain stated set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises; however, the State encourages the utilization of Ohio-certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Encouraging Diversity, Growth and Equity (EDGE) vendors. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the solicitation materials. The winning contractor must comply with prevailing wage requirements under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4115 and obtain commercial general liability and business automobile liability insurance with minimum aggregate coverage of $2,000,000. Additional requirements include compliance with Ohio ethics laws, drug-free workplace standards, workers' compensation coverage, accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 Level AA), and prohibitions on offshore services and Russian investments per Executive Orders 2019-12D and 2022-02D. The contract will be contingent upon appropriation of funds by the Ohio General Assembly, with payments due 30 days after invoice receipt or service acceptance, whichever is later. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the solicitation; however, pricing will be evaluated on a per-attendee basis with an estimated 25 students, though enrollment may fluctuate based on staffing needs.
