Opportunity description
Notice of Opportunity: Bolstering Underutilized Industry by Leveraging Technology Transfer (BUILTT) for DOE The Department of Energy (DOE), in partnership with the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), announces an opportunity for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to participate in the Bolstering Underutilized Industry by Leveraging Technology Transfer (BUILTT) program. This pilot initiative is being conducted by the Nevada National Security Sites (NNSS), Y-12 National Security Complex, and Kansas City National Security Campus. https://www.energy.gov/technologycommercialization/fiscal-year-2025-climr-projects-commercializing-energy-technologies Program Overview: The BUILTT program is designed to facilitate the transfer of low-volume, high-impact technologies developed at DOE/NNSA Labs, Plants, and Sites (LPS) to qualified SMBs. These technologies are often mission-critical but have limited commercial markets, with the government frequently being the primary or sole customer. The program introduces a new technology transfer mechanism, the Cost Reduction License (CRL), which enables SMBs to manufacture and supply these technologies to DOE and other government agencies at a fair and reasonable price. Key Program Elements: � Technologies included in the program are anticipated to be fully developed, tested, and ready for production, but are typically excluded from traditional technology transfer due to their limited market size. � The CRL is a licensing agreement that allows SMBs to produce and sell specified technologies to DOE/NNSA at a set price, with the potential for additional commercial sales if applicable. � As applicable, the program will pool eligible technologies from participating DOE/NNSA sites and match them with vetted SMBs through a standardized process. � Depending upon SMB location, the pilot project cost share partners, including regional economic development organizations and technical service providers, may be available to assist SMBs interested in participating in BUILTT pilot. Eligibility and Participation: � Participation is open to U.S.-based small and medium-sized businesses as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration. � Preference may be given to businesses located in the regions of the participating DOE/NNSA sites and to those meeting designations such as SBA 8(a) or HUBZone. � Interested SMBs will undergo a vetting and due diligence process to assess technical capabilities and alignment with the needs of the technologies being offered. Process and Timeline: � The program will be conducted in phases, including technology identification and pooling, SMB sourcing and vetting, matchmaking, and pilot CRL execution. � Educational materials can be provided to participating SMBs regarding the licensing process and technology requirements. Additional Information: � The BUILTT program is funded by the DOE Office of Technology Commercialization and National Nuclear Security Administration and is intended to serve as a model for scalable, replicable technology transfer across DOE and other government agencies. How to Respond: Interested parties should contact the DOE/NNSA BUILTT program team at TPIP@nv.doe.gov with the subject line: �BUILTT for DOE Pilot�. Additional details, including specific technology listings and application procedures, will be provided in subsequent postings.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This notice appears to be market research rather than a conventional bid invitation. A capability response, technical feedback or evidence of market interest may matter more than a price proposal at this stage.
The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.
Small Business Set Aside - Total is recorded as the set-aside or restriction. Confirm the bidding entity actually satisfies the applicable program and size requirements before investing proposal time.
NAICS 541715 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit has stored substantive notice text for this record, but attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A can still contain requirements that are not visible in the description alone.
The source data includes 1 public contracting contact. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.
