Environmental Risk Assessment & Regulatory Compliance Consulting

Boulder County is seeking a subcontractor to evaluate herbicide formulations for compliance with emerging regulations concerning per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS. The work involves scientifically analyzing herbicide components to determine whether they contain PFAS or related compounds that may trigger regulatory restrictions under evolving environmental standards. This includes conducting detailed chemical assessments to identify potential contamination sources and evaluating the environmental fate and transport of these substances in soil, water, and air systems. The contractor must also assess human health risks associated with exposure pathways such as drinking water, dietary intake, and occupational contact, providing data-driven risk characterizations that align with current scientific and regulatory frameworks. The project requires the submission of a comprehensive report detailing findings on compliance status, risk levels, and recommendations for formulation adjustments or alternative products to meet regulatory expectations. The subcontract is posted under NAICS code 541620 for environmental consulting services, with a deadline for responses set for May 15, 2026. Interested parties must submit proposals through the specified online portal, and the work is expected to be performed without geographic restriction within the United States. The contract supports Boulder County's broader efforts to proactively manage chemical risks in agricultural and land management practices while ensuring alignment with state and federal trends in PFAS oversight.
