Natural Gas Data Collection System Design

The contract entails the design and development of a regulatory-compliant data collection framework focused on natural gas usage across California, with the goal of ensuring accurate, standardized, and auditable data capture aligned with state energy regulations. The system must define critical data points, implement robust validation rules to maintain data integrity, and integrate seamlessly with existing statewide energy databases to enable real-time reporting and compliance monitoring. The project requires a deep understanding of California’s energy regulatory landscape and the technical infrastructure used by governing agencies to track utility consumption. This subcontract, classified under NAICS code 541611 for scientific and technical consulting services, is administered by the California Energy Commission and will be performed in Sacramento. The work is scheduled to begin following the posting date of July 7, 2026, and is expected to produce a fully operational, secure, and scalable system capable of supporting ongoing regulatory obligations for natural gas utilities. While no set-aside provisions or specific point of contact are listed, the contract emphasizes compliance, technical precision, and interoperability with state-level energy data systems.
