About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by Boulder County Parks and Open Space (BCPOS) in Colorado to identify methodologies and processes for evaluating whether herbicides used by the department contain or may be classified as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including PFOS. BCPOS seeks information from qualified laboratories and vendors regarding their capabilities to conduct such evaluations and report findings. The RFI is for information-gathering and planning purposes only, with responses intended to define the scope, feasibility, and appropriate methodologies for potential future testing. Specific areas of inquiry include analytical methods used to detect PFAS compounds in pesticide formulations (both liquid and granular), ability to identify total fluorine and targeted PFAS compounds, approaches for determining whether products may be classified as PFAS or PFAS-related compounds, detection limits and reporting thresholds, data interpretation methods, estimated costs for one-time and ongoing testing, and recommended sampling protocols with associated limitations or considerations.
The RFI explicitly states that it does not constitute a solicitation for services or a commitment by Boulder County to issue a Request for Proposals or award a contract. Information obtained through this RFI process may inform whether BCPOS issues a future solicitation for these services. No specific response deadline, funding amount, or contract award date is specified in this informational request. Interested vendors should direct questions regarding the Boulder County procurement process to procurement@bouldercounty.gov.
