Oil and Gas Well Plugging and Remediation Services Qualified Vendors List (QVL)

The State of Missouri, through the Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Department of Natural Resources, has issued a solicitation for qualified vendors to provide oil and gas well plugging and remediation services, identified by solicitation number STATE 0000000489SL. The solicitation, posted on July 27, 2026, with a response deadline of August 3, 2026, seeks to establish a qualified vendors list for multi-regional site activities including site access, well plugging, equipment removal, land reclamation, and associated remediation tasks across Missouri. Work is to be performed primarily at locations designated by the Missouri Geologic Survey in Rolla, MO, with the contract period of performance running from approximately July 13, 2026, through June 5, 2027. The solicitation is structured as a request for proposals under state procurement authority and is not bound by federal acquisition regulations, though it incorporates state statutes including RSMo §34.600 and §610, and references Executive Order 04-09 for compliance. Contractors must submit their proposals electronically via MissouriBUYS using a prescribed set of exhibits, including detailed documentation on organizational experience, personnel qualifications, methodologies, and participation commitments from minority, women, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, as well as blind or sheltered workshops. Evaluation of proposals will follow a “lowest and best” trade-off approach, with a maximum scoring of 200 points allocated across cost, technical merit, and participation incentives. Cost proposals are scored on a formula-based scale where the lowest price receives the maximum points, but bonuses are available for commitments to MBE, WBE, SDVE, and blind/sheltered workshop participation, allowing higher-priced proposals with stronger non-cost attributes to prevail. Key personnel identified in the proposal cannot be substituted without prior written approval, and any replacement must be equally or more qualified. Contractors must comply with stringent requirements regarding U.S. work authorization, E-Verify enrollment, confidentiality, conflict of interest avoidance, and adherence to anti-discrimination laws, including the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act. All deliverables and data generated under the contract become state property, and proposals are subject to public disclosure unless properly marked confidential. Payment will be processed through Electronic Funds Transfer via MissouriBUYS, subject to state and federal funding availability, and invoices must align with state financial systems. The state retains full authority to inspect performance, accept
