About this opportunity

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking input from research-oriented institutes and commercial vendors on potential laboratory or analytical methods to routinely analyze biofuel feedstocks and finished biofuels to identify the presence of virgin oils such as palm, soybean, or canola oil. The primary goal is to improve CARB's administration of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program and enhance access to data on biofuel feedstock sources for CARB staff and third-party verification bodies. Vendors are invited to describe products, solutions, and strategies that could assist CARB in determining the current state of technological, analytical, or administrative solutions to support the LCFS program. Responses are due by November 25, 2024 at 3:00 PM Pacific Time, and the information provided will be used for planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or binding contract.

The RFI does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFI does not include any details on possible award values or budget ranges, as it is intended to gather information for planning purposes only.

Opportunity text

The purpose of this RFI is to solicit information and suggestions from research-oriented institutes and commercial vendors that could be used to improve the State's administration of the LCFS, and improve access to data to State staff and third-party verification bodies on biofuel feedstock sources. The primary goal from this RFI is to better understand the potential laboratory or other analytical or process-based methods that may exist to routinely analyze biofuel feedstocks or finished biofuel for the existence of virgin oils (e.g. palm oil, soybean oil, canola oil, or other oil feedstocks).
