Custom Emissions Capture Hood Design and Engineering

The contract seeks engineering design and technical specification development for a custom emissions capture hood tailored for biomass pile burning tests. The design must ensure full compliance with EPA AP-42 Chapter 13 standards and associated testing protocols, focusing on accurate and controllable capture of particulate and gaseous emissions during controlled combustion scenarios. The work involves translating regulatory requirements into detailed mechanical and operational specifications, considering airflow dynamics, material durability, and integration with existing monitoring systems to support valid emissions data collection. The project is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541330 and is being managed by the Air Quality agency in Oregon, with performance required in Portland, zip code 97232. The solicitation was posted on May 5, 2026, and responses are due by June 5, 2026. While no set-aside type is specified, the emphasis on technical precision and regulatory alignment indicates a need for specialized environmental engineering expertise. The successful contractor will deliver a functional, scalable hood system designed to meet stringent environmental testing benchmarks for biomass emissions research.
