Bolstering Underutilized Industry by Leveraging Technology Transfer (BUILTT) pilot program
Solicitation # 10292026-LR-27
The Department of Energy, in partnership with the National Nuclear Security Administration, has announced the Bolstering Underutilized Industry by Leveraging Technology Transfer (BUILTT) pilot program. This initiative, conducted by the Nevada National Security Sites, Y-12 National Security Complex, and Kansas City National Security Campus, aims to assist qualified U.S. small and medium-sized businesses in manufacturing low-volume, high-impact technologies developed by DOE/NNSA Labs, Plants, and Sites. These technologies, which include specialized optical imaging, radiation and chemical sensing systems, precision electrical components, and advanced materials, often have limited commercial markets but are critical for government mission requirements. Under the program, selected businesses may receive a Cost Reduction License (CRL) for a nominal fee, granting them the rights to produce specified technologies for sale to the DOE, NNSA, and other government customers at pre-negotiated prices. Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based SMBs, with preference given to those near participating sites or those with SBA 8(a) or HUBZone designations. Interested parties are evaluated based on their technical and manufacturing capabilities, financial capacity, and ability to meet regulatory and security requirements. Responses must be submitted to the Technology Partnerships and Intellectual Property Office by April 1, 2027, and are categorized under NAICS code 541715.

Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Enterprise Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)
Solicitation # FA865226SC003
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Enterprise Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO), solicitation FA8652-26-S-C003, is an overarching enterprise framework designed to acquire innovative commercial products and services. Issued under the authority of 10 USC 3458 and DFARS Subpart 212.70, the CSO establishes a structure for issuing competitive solicitations known as Spirals. These Spirals target a wide range of Areas of Interest (AOI) across the Air, Space, Cyberspace/Electronic Warfare, and Cross-Domain technology domains, including hypersonics, cybersecurity, quantum technologies, and human-machine teaming. Resulting awards may take the form of fixed-price FAR Part 12 contracts or Other Transactions for Prototype (OTP). Foreign participation is strictly prohibited. The acquisition process typically follows a two-step approach for Spirals. In Step One, offerors submit a Commercial Solutions Brief (CSB) consisting of a PowerPoint briefing and a white paper. Those categorized as Selectable are invited to Step Two to submit a full Commercial Solutions Proposal (CSP), which includes a technical proposal, a Statement of Work, and a price proposal with an editable Excel pricing model. Evaluation is conducted via subject-matter expert peer review, focusing on technical merit, applicability, importance to agency programs, and funding availability. Strict security and compliance requirements are in place, including mandatory security risk reviews for all senior and key personnel to mitigate foreign influence. Offerors must also perform an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) analysis and adhere to DoD item unique identification standards (MIL-STD-130) for delivered hardware costing $5,000 or more. Contract administration, including invoicing and payment, is managed electronically through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system.
