AI Summary
California seeks bids for water sampling services to produce contamination-controlled microplastics samples and documentation for health assessment under Senate Bill 1147.
You are invited to review and respond to this Invitation for Bid (IFB) titled, 25-E0032 Water Sampling Services. Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging contaminant of concern, and California has taken a national leadership role in advancing research, monitoring, and policy actions related to MPs in the environment. Although laboratory studies suggest potential biological effects associated with MP exposure, substantial scientific uncertainty remains regarding environmentally relevant exposures in drinking water. This project advances the mandate of Senate Bill 1147 (Portantino 2024) by establishing a pilot-scale sampling program that produces contamination-controlled MP sample materials and defensible field documentation for transfer to an OEHHA-designated laboratory, enabling reliable downstream characterization inputs for OEHHA¿s human health assessment. This contract will produce contamination-controlled, high-volume tap water samples, linked blanks, and complete chain-of-custody records for transfer to an OEHHA-designated laboratory, so OEHHA can generate defensible data for a microplastics (MP) health assessment in drinking water as required by California Senate Bill 1147 (Portantino 2024).
SLED stands for State, Local, and Education. These are solicitations issued by state governments, counties, cities, school districts, utilities, and higher education institutions — as opposed to federal agencies.
