About this file
This is a specifications attachment for a software procurement solicitation issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) with solicitation number 582-26-16712. TCEQ seeks software capable of estimating volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from wastewater treatment facilities to replace the legacy EPA WATER9 program, which is no longer available. The software must provide functionality comparable to or exceeding that of Toxchem, the current replacement tool used by TCEQ and industry applicants for air permit applications. The document does not specify response dates, due dates, site visits, bidder meetings, award dates, or contract term information.
The specifications establish comprehensive requirements for the software solution, including the ability to accurately calculate both hourly and annual air emissions based on contaminant concentrations, loads, and wastewater system components and design. The software must feature a user-friendly interface enabling independent operation by TCEQ reviewers to verify emissions calculations submitted by applicants, generate clear shareable reports, and operate on modern Windows 10 and 11 operating systems. Additional requirements include compliance with data protection standards, scalability for varying facility sizes, comprehensive technical support from the vendor, and regular updates to maintain regulatory compliance and technological currency. The specifications document contains no information regarding pricing, set-asides, incumbents, funding sources, or contract amounts.

ATTACHMENT A
Specifications for Software to Calculate Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions
For use by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)
Description: TCEQ is seeking a software for estimating VOC emissions and more specifically, air emissions from wastewater treatment facilities. The software must have similar functions to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) WATER9 program and will be used to evaluate and audit emissions for New Source Review Air Permits. The EPA WATER9 program, historically utilized by TCEQ, is no longer available. Toxchem is currently being used as the only known replacement by the TCEQ and by various members of industry that submit Air Permit applications. The software requested must provide necessary support for emissions quantification and regulatory compliance.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
A. Emissions Calculations: The software must accurately estimate both hourly and annual air emissions based on:
• Concentrations and loads of air contaminants
• Components and process design of wastewater systems
B. User Interface
• The software must have a user-friendly interface that allows for easy navigation and input of data
• TCEQ reviewers must be able to run the software independently to verify emissions calculations submitted by applicants
• The software should be able to generate clear reports on emissions calculations that can be easily shared with stakeholders
• The software must be compatible with modern operating systems, including Windows 10 and 11
• The solution should adhere to data protection standards to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information
• The software must be scalable to accommodate varying sizes of wastewater treatment facilities and their corresponding data loads
• Vendors must provide comprehensive technical support, including troubleshooting and user assistance
• The software should receive regular updates to ensure compliance with regulatory changes and technological advancements
