PFAS Testing and Assistance Program

The state of Colorado, specifically Denver County and Denver City, is soliciting proposals for the PFAS Testing and Assistance Program, a contract opportunity focused on addressing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination. This procurement aims to engage a qualified contractor to conduct comprehensive PFAS testing across local jurisdictional environments, potentially including water systems, soil, and other critical infrastructure. The primary objectives appear to involve identifying PFAS concentration levels, developing mitigation strategies, and providing technical assistance to local government entities. Interested vendors must demonstrate extensive expertise in environmental testing, chemical analysis, and regulatory compliance related to PFAS contamination. The contract opportunity, identified by the unique ID 67f67954c038447bce0f65a6, was posted on April 8, 2025, with proposal submissions due by April 11, 2025, indicating a relatively tight procurement timeline. Potential respondents should be prepared to provide detailed methodological approaches, comprehensive testing protocols, and clear reporting mechanisms for PFAS detection and potential remediation strategies.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, local government contracts often prioritize small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, or local Colorado-based vendors. The procurement likely requires respondents to have specialized environmental testing certifications, advanced laboratory capabilities, and demonstrated experience with PFAS analysis across municipal and county-level infrastructures. Although no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract implies potential integration with existing environmental monitoring systems and regulatory frameworks. The budget range and potential award value are not specified in the current documentation, but similar environmental testing and assistance programs typically range from $250,000 to $1.5 million, depending on the scope and complexity of required services. Interested contractors should carefully review all documentation and be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive technical capabilities, regulatory compliance, and innovative approaches to PFAS testing and mitigation.
