RFI 2026-0101 Earthquake Early Warning

The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services is issuing RFI 2026-0101 to solicit market research and planning information on integrating Earthquake Early Warning alerts into streaming platforms and digital ecosystems, with responses due June 29, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. PST. This is a market research and planning RFI only; responses do not constitute a solicitation, commitment to contract, or binding agreement.

Cal OES seeks information on implementation strategies, industry engagement approaches, technical and operational pathways, and pilot development concepts for delivering EEW alerts through streaming services and digital platforms. Respondents should demonstrate experience with public-private partnerships, stakeholder engagement, technology adoption, and alerting systems.

Responses must include organization overview; relevant experience with streaming platforms and alerting systems; existing industry relationships; a proposed approach for partner engagement and pathway evaluation; non-binding estimated costs for outreach and coordination activities; and an approximate timeline for implementation phases. Cost estimates should cover research, strategy development, pilot planning, and implementation support on a planning basis only.

Questions are due June 19, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. PST, with responses to questions posted on Cal eProcure on June 24, 2026. No bidder's conference or site visit is scheduled. Responses should be submitted electronically to contractsunit@caloes.ca.gov. Rebecca Taylor is the contact.
