Transportable Electron Beam Treatment System for PFAS Destruction

Texas A&M AgriLife Research is soliciting proposals for the design, fabrication, integration, and commissioning of a transportable electron beam treatment system specifically engineered to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in sewage sludge and soil sediments. The system must be constructed to fit within one or more shipping containers, enabling mobility and deployment to various treatment sites. Proposals must include detailed system layouts, specifications for all critical components and sub-assemblies, verification of subsystem performance through testing, and comprehensive integration and commissioning of the final unit. The vendor is responsible for end-to-end delivery of a fully functional, transportable eBeam system capable of reliably degrading PFAS compounds under real-world conditions. The solicitation emphasizes innovation, durability, and operational efficiency with a focus on scalable and field-deployable solutions. The request for proposals was issued on May 11, 2026, with a deadline for submission set for June 2, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time, though responses must be received by 8:00 p.m. Central Time on June 5, 2026. A preproposal meeting is scheduled for May 14, 2026, and all vendor questions must be submitted by May 20, 2026, with responses from the agency to follow by May 22, 2026. Selected proposers may be invited to deliver oral presentations during the week of June 15, 2026. The anticipated contract start date is July 1, 2026, with performance to begin as soon as practicable thereafter. All inquiries should be directed to Christopher Chamberlain, Director of Procurement & HUB at Texas A&M University. The solicitation, identified as TAMU-AG-RSCH-RFP-6584, is open to qualified vendors and does not specify a set-aside classification, and full details are available through the agency’s public bidding portal.
