Recycled Content Certification for Packaging Supplies

The contract requires the supply of packaging materials such as plastic bags and containers designed for live fish transport, with the explicit mandate that all materials must contain certified postconsumer recycled content meeting California’s SABRC requirements. The materials must be fully compliant with state regulations governing recycled content in packaging to ensure environmental sustainability and adherence to regulatory standards for aquatic transport applications. All vendors must demonstrate verifiable certification of the recycled content percentage and provide documentation proving compliance with applicable state guidelines. This is a subcontract opportunity posted by the California Department of Fish & Wildlife with a response deadline of July 29, 2026, and a NAICS code of 326199 for other plastic product manufacturing. Participation is open to suppliers able to meet the specific technical and certification criteria tied to recycled content, though no set-aside status is indicated. Interested parties must submit proposals by the stated deadline through the designated procurement portal, and performance of the contract is expected to support California’s broader initiatives for sustainable packaging in commercial fisheries and wildlife operations.
