Climate Policy Modelling Service

The Colorado state government authority is seeking a vendor to provide climate policy modelling services. The agency needs to supplement its limited staff capacity and obtain technical assistance for developing policy-related emission projections when internal staff lack model-specific knowledge or experience. The scope of work spans a one-year contract period and requires the completion of policy action research, administrative tasks, and specific deliverables and timelines under designated tasks. Bidders must submit an executive summary confirming their acceptance of and ability to comply with state artificial intelligence governance and compliance requirements. This submission must detail the organization's policies for human oversight of artificial intelligence, protection of confidential client data within these tools, and the verification processes used to ensure the accuracy of computer-assisted research. The agency restricts eligibility to onshore vendors located within the United States, and the selected contractor will perform all work offsite. The agency has established a budget of up to $150,000 USD for this initiative. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 16, 2026.
