The State Air Resources Board is dedicated to advancing air quality protection and reducing harmful emissions across California through science-driven regulation, monitoring, and innovation. Its core mission centers on developing and implementing emissions quantification methodologies, deploying advanced measurement technologies, and supporting policy initiatives that target transportation, industrial, and combustion sources of pollution. Strategic priorities include expanding the use of Portable Emissions Measurement Systems (PEMS), enhancing data accuracy for regulatory compliance, and improving public health outcomes through precise environmental analytics. Key programs focus on zero-emission vehicle infrastructure, aircraft taxiing efficiency, residential wood combustion impacts, and multilingual public communication to ensure equitable access to air quality information.
The agency frequently procures specialized industrial equipment for emissions testing, analytical laboratory instruments, and environmental consulting services to support technical assessments and policy development. It also acquires test vehicles and maintenance services to validate real-world emission performance. Contract structures are predominantly open solicitations, with a reliance on professional services agreements for technical studies and equipment procurement through competitive RFQs and IFBs. The agency prioritizes technical precision over volume, favoring vendors with demonstrated expertise in environmental instrumentation and emissions modeling.
Primary procurement targets include Industrial Truck and Tractor Manufacturing for test fleet support, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing for air quality data collection, and Environmental Consulting Services for emissions modeling and policy analysis. Translation and interpretation services are consistently engaged to facilitate public outreach across California’s diverse linguistic communities. Engineering, surveying, and research services further reinforce the agency’s data-centric approach. There is no indication of set-aside preferences; contracts are awarded based on technical merit and capability.
Organized under the California State Department, the State Air Resources Board operates statewide with no fixed physical location, coordinating regional air districts and leveraging federal and state partnerships. It relies on open competitive solicitations, professional services contracts, and equipment procurement vehicles to execute its regulatory and scientific mandate, ensuring transparency and technical rigor in all acquisitions.
