FY26-DOEE-WQD-Purchase Innovative Sampling Equipment

The District of Columbia’s Energy and Environment Agency is preparing to procure advanced monitoring and sampling equipment designed to enable rapid or real-time analysis of bacterial contaminants in water systems. This initiative aims to enhance the agency’s capacity for timely water quality assessment, supporting public health protections and regulatory compliance through improved detection capabilities. The equipment will be used to identify bacterial presence quickly, allowing for faster response to potential contamination events and more efficient resource allocation for water quality management. The forecasted procurement is scheduled for fiscal year 2026 and falls under the agency’s broader mission to modernize environmental monitoring infrastructure. While specific details such as solicitation numbers, NAICS codes, and point of contact information are not yet available, the equipment acquisition is anticipated to support field operations across the District. The place of performance and technical requirements will be detailed in subsequent formal solicitations, but the focus is clearly on innovative technologies that deliver real-time data to improve decision-making and public safety.
