About this opportunity

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Oil & Gas Resources Management is soliciting competitive bids through OhioBuys cooperative purchasing vehicle CSP900922 for exploratory work on orphan wells across three regional contracts, with bids due July 23, 2026. Bidders must be active on the CSP900922 contract (DAS Index No. MAC110) — a mandatory eligibility requirement.

The scope is exploratory assessment of orphan wells to evaluate equipment, materials, and condition without plugging during this phase, though contractors must have certain equipment available should exploration aggravate well condition. The Division will determine which wells are included on an as-needed basis and authorize work through Work Orders. Field Orders and Change Orders will follow the initial Work Order. Actual units and quantities are undetermined; pricing will be established through an Ohio Buys offer submission.

The Division intends to award three separate contracts, one per regional map zone shown in Appendix II, with no contractor eligible to win more than one region. The contract remains in effect until either a set timeframe or expenditure cap is reached; specific term limits and budget ceilings are not stated in the summary materials provided. Work is performed across Ohio at orphan well sites identified by the Division on a regional basis.

A separate Ohio Buys submittal is required for each of the three regions. Questions due date and anticipated award timeline are not specified in the available text.
