Opportunity description
Notice of Opportunity: BUILTT for DOE Pilot Technologies The Department of Energy (DOE), in partnership with the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), announces the availability of technologies under the Bolstering Underutilized Industry by Leveraging Technology Transfer (BUILTT) pilot program. The pilot is being conducted by the Nevada National Security Sites (NNSS), Y-12 National Security Complex, and Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC). Program Overview BUILTT is intended to help qualified small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) manufacture low-volume, high-impact technologies developed by DOE/NNSA Labs, Plants, and Sites. These technologies support mission requirements but may have limited commercial markets or insufficient production volume for traditional technology licensing. The program uses a Cost Reduction License (CRL), under which a qualified SMB may receive rights to produce a specified technology for a nominal licensing fee. The CRL is intended to support the sale of the resulting products to DOE, NNSA, and other government customers at a fair and reasonable pre-negotiated price. Where applicable, the CRL may also address commercial sales. Technology Areas The pilot technologies generally involve specialized manufacturing, instrumentation, sensing, materials, electronics, and analytical or production systems. Examples of technology types include: - Specialized optical and high-speed imaging equipment for experimental diagnostics; - Radiation, chemical, pressure, and environmental sensing systems; - Precision electrical and mechanical components; - Advanced materials, coatings, bonding, and fabrication processes; - Laboratory-scale mixing, processing, and production equipment; and - Software, data-analysis, and instrumentation-support technologies. A separate attachment to this posting provides the exact technology descriptions, applicable intellectual-property information, and available patent links. Prospective respondents should review that attachment to identify technologies that align with their capabilities. Eligibility and Participation Participation is open to U.S.-based SMBs that meet applicable U.S. Small Business Administration requirements. Preference may be given, when appropriate, to businesses located near participating DOE/NNSA sites and to businesses with designations such as SBA 8(a) or HUBZone. Interested businesses may be evaluated based on: - Technical and manufacturing capabilities; - Relevant facilities, equipment, personnel, and experience; - Ability to meet applicable quality, safety, security, and regulatory requirements; - Ability to support low-volume production and government customers; - Financial and organizational capacity; and - Alignment with one or more of the listed technologies. Selected respondents will be subject to vetting and due diligence before any matchmaking, licensing, or procurement activity occurs. Participation in this posting does not guarantee selection, a license, a purchase order, or a contract. How to Respond Interested businesses should contact the DOE/NNSA BUILTT program team at TPIP@nv.doe.gov with the subject line �BUILTT for DOE Pilot Technologies.� Responses should identify the respondent�s areas of interest and briefly describe relevant technical, manufacturing, and government-contracting capabilities. Additional information may be requested during the evaluation process. General Conditions Submission of a response does not create an express or implied contract between the respondent and Mission Support and Test Services, LLC (MSTS), DOE, NNSA, NNSS, Y-12, or KCNSC. MSTS and the participating organizations are not obligated to review or evaluate any response, select a respondent, issue a CRL, place an order, or award a contract. Respondents are not entitled to compensation, damages, or remuneration if this posting is modified, suspended, canceled, or not followed.

This timeline records when GovBidFit first stored the notice and material field changes detected during scheduled SAM.gov refreshes. It is an audit aid, not a substitute for the official amendment history.

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.
The current feed does not show a program-specific set-aside restriction. That does not remove other eligibility, responsibility, registration or solicitation-specific requirements.
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 stores the source notice text, but its length does not prove the requirements are complete. Review official attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A before relying on the description.
The source data includes 1 public contracting contact. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.

What this opportunity record tells you
SAM.gov identifies this as a sources sought from ENERGY, DEPARTMENT OF. The record was posted on October 29, 2026 and currently lists March 31, 2027 as the response deadline. GovBidFit keeps source facts separate from its matching guidance so you can see what comes from the federal notice.
The listed product or service classification is NAICS 541715 · Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology). The set-aside field is Unrestricted. These fields help narrow your search, but they do not replace the full solicitation, amendments, attachments, clauses or eligibility language on the official source.
