This contract seeks bids for laboratory analysis services focusing on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and cotinine in urine samples collected from residents near oil refinery sites in Southern Los Angeles. The work supports the CHAIRS-LA study, a collaborative effort among University of California campuses and Yale, alongside community partners, aimed at assessing health and air quality impacts related to refinery retirements in the South Bay area. Given the area's high concentration of oil fields and refineries, there is particular concern about exposure to toxic air pollutants, which have been linked to serious health issues including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The scope includes analyzing up to 150 urine samples for these contaminants to help better understand community exposure and health risks. The solicitation was posted on May 29, 2026, with responses due by June 12, 2026, and is managed by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. Interested bidders can contact the primary point of contact, Cindy Vang, for more information. This contract is critical in providing scientific data to inform public health actions and environmental policy decisions related to refinery operations and their associated health effects.

You are invited to review and respond to this Invitation for Bid (IFB) titled, 25-E0033 Laboratory Analysis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Cotinine Services. Los Angeles County has some of the largest and highest concentration of oil fields in the United States. The neighborhoods of Wilmington and Carson are particularly impacted, as they are surrounded by five different refineries. Studies have shown elevated levels of numerous toxic air pollutants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), near oil fields. Exposure to these toxic air pollutants is associated with serious health effects such as asthma, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. In 2025, the Community Health and Air Quality Implications of Refinery Retirements in Los Angeles (CHAIRS-LA) study was initiated to evaluate the impacts of oil refinery closures in the South Bay of LA. The CHAIRS-LA study is a collaboration between the University of California (UC), Los Angeles, UC Irvine, and Yale. The Communities for a Better Environment (CBE) and the Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN) are the community partners for this study. OEHHA added a biomonitoring component to CHAIRS-LA to collect urine samples from up to 150 residents living near both retired and active oil refineries in Southern LA. The purpose of the contract is for the analysis of the urine samples for PAHs and cotinine. For more details, please review the attached IFB packet.
