Unknown Substance Testing & Analysis

The California Department of Fish & Wildlife is seeking a subcontractor to perform laboratory identification and analysis of unknown hazardous materials to determine their chemical composition, associated hazards, and appropriate disposal methods. This effort is critical for ensuring environmental safety and regulatory compliance, particularly in situations where unidentified substances pose potential risks to ecosystems or public health. The work must be conducted with precision and adhere to established scientific and safety protocols to deliver accurate, actionable results. The contract opportunity was posted on June 24, 2026, with a response deadline of July 11, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 541380, which covers other scientific and technical consulting services. Performance of the work is expected to take place in Sacramento, California, and the contract is structured as a subcontract, meaning the selected vendor will report to a primary contractor rather than directly to the agency. There is no set-aside designation specified, and no point of contact information is provided in the solicitation details. Interested parties must submit proposals through the eProcurement portal linked in the posting before the deadline to be considered.
