The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) seeks consulting services for a study of the availability of postconsumer recycled (PCR) plastic and the achievability of California’s minimum PCR content standards for plastic beverage containers.

The solicitation sets a maximum budget of $1,000,000 and an approximately 24-month contract term expected to begin in January 2027. Proposals must include a detailed work plan, organizational and personnel information, resumes, at least three verifiable references for the proposer and each proposed subcontractor, similar written-work samples, and required eligibility, licensing, and applicable preference materials.
