The project involves reworking the existing oil and gas well API #0402958241, known as 113A-34S, located in the Elk Hills Oil Field in Kern County, California, with the primary objective of restoring production through a sidetrack operation confined to the existing well pad without expanding facilities or disturbing undisturbed areas. The California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), serves as the lead agency approving the work under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) categorical exemptions Class 1, Class 2, and Class 4, which classify the activity as maintenance, replacement, or minor land alteration with no significant environmental impact, and no exceptions to these exemptions apply. The project was certified on November 3, 2025, and publicly posted on November 4, 2025, with no formal contract value, pricing, or financial terms disclosed, indicating this is a regulatory permitting action rather than a traditional procurement. The place of performance is clearly defined by the well’s legal description and geographic coordinates, and all inspection and acceptance activities are implied to occur on-site under CalGEM oversight. There is no evidence of federal acquisition regulation (FAR) or defense supplement (DFARS) clauses, no contract type such as firm-fixed-price or cost-reimbursement is identified, and no payment, invoicing, accounting, or contracting officer details are provided; instead, the document functions as a CEQA environmental notice requiring no formal solicitation, proposals, or contractor representations such as unique entity IDs, small business status, or CAGE codes. The point of contact for general inquiries is CalGEM Central, with no designated Contracting Officer’s Representative, Technical Representative, or Procurement Contracting Officer named, and no delivery schedule, FOB terms, packaging requirements, or evaluation factors are included. The project identifier 726053_CREH_OG is used administratively, but no solicitation or contract number exists, and the designation as “forecast” further suggests a pre-solicitation or planning phase within the state regulatory framework rather than an active contractual obligation. All associated documentation pertains solely to environmental compliance and permitting under state law, with no federal procurement elements present.
