AI-Powered Regulatory Knowledge Extraction & Search Engine

A contractor is being sought to develop an AI system capable of ingesting and enabling intelligent, context-aware search across a broad range of nuclear regulatory documents, including standards and guidelines from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the Western European Nuclear Regulators Association. The system must extract, structure, and index complex regulatory content to provide accurate, nuanced search results that understand technical terminology, interdocument relationships, and regulatory intent, supporting users in rapidly locating relevant compliance information. The project is a subcontract under the Department of Energy, managed by Battelle Energy Alliance, with performance required in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and the system must operate reliably in a high-stakes nuclear safety and regulatory environment. The contract was posted on June 23, 2026, with a response deadline of July 9, 2026, at 3:59 a.m. UTC, and falls under NAICS code 511210 for software publishing. The work is focused on creating an advanced search platform that goes beyond keyword matching to deliver semantic understanding, contextual relevance, and dynamic learning from new regulatory updates. The AI system must handle multilingual and multi-format documentation, maintain auditability and traceability of sourced material, and be designed for integration into existing agency workflows. No set-aside specifications are indicated, and the opportunity is open to qualified subcontractors with demonstrated expertise in artificial intelligence, legal and regulatory text processing, and nuclear regulatory frameworks.
