Statewide well plugging & related services

The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Statewide Well Plugging and Related Services. The RRC seeks highly qualified vendors to provide services within its Oil and Gas Division Districts throughout the state, including plugging or re-plugging of abandoned oil and gas or saltwater disposal wells. The selected vendors will be responsible for providing all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals to perform the work in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Respondents must demonstrate their competence, detailed credentials, and meet the evaluation criteria outlined in the RFQ. The RRC will award contracts to the most qualified respondents expressing interest to deliver services within one or more of its Oil and Gas Division Districts. Responses are due by October 27, 2023 at 2:00 PM CT, and the RRC may award contracts for an original term of one year, with up to four one-year optional renewals.

Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) are strongly encouraged to respond to this opportunity, and a completed HUB Subcontracting Plan is required. The RFQ does not provide specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding details, but notes that pricing will not be considered in the initial evaluation. The RRC will select the most qualified vendors and issue work orders with pricing as needed. The RRC is seeking to establish a pool of qualified vendors to deliver the required well plugging and related services across the state of Texas.
