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 …
