AI Contract Overview
This solicitation, issued by the U.S. Trade and Development Agency under number 1131PL26R0005-1, seeks qualified small businesses to conduct civil nuclear energy project proposal reviews under NAICS Code 541690 as a total small business set-aside. All offerors must be U.S. firms or individuals, and contractor and subcontractor personnel must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. The contract is limited to no more than two awards to manage the high volume of anticipated civil nuclear initiatives across the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and Eurasia, Indo-Pacific, and Latin America & the Caribbean regions, with each awardee expected to deliver up to three initial assessments and four full project reviews, totaling six preliminary assessments and eight full reports. Services include infrastructure risk screening using USTDA guidance, developing budgets and terms of reference aligned with USTDA funding criteria, and ensuring projects provide equal access to U.S. companies and generate sales of U.S. goods and services significantly exceeding the initial investment. Proposals must be submitted electronically by 1:00 PM Arlington, VA time on July 17, 2026, in two separate volumes: a technical proposal limited to ten pages with no pricing information, and a price proposal with no page limit. The technical proposal must detail methodology, staffing, travel, timing, and risk assessment, along with resumes of key personnel capped at three pages each and up to three relevant past performance references from the prior three years. All offerors must be registered and maintain an active status in SAM.gov throughout the solicitation, award, performance, and payment phases. Contracts are voidable if awarded to entities suspended, debarred, or proposed for debarment by any U.S. government agency. Subcontracting is capped at less than fifty percent of the proposed price, and contractors must comply with multiple FAR clauses including those on ethics, whistleblower protections, combating human trafficking, and restrictions on telecommunications equipment. Deliverables must be labeled “Business Confidential,” submitted as Adobe PDF with original Word and Excel files, and sent via email only to designated addresses with proper subject line formatting. Invoicing occurs after government acceptance of project reports through the Invoice Processing Platform. Evaluation will prioritize technical approach and past performance as equally important factors, significantly more influential than price, with an unstated but clear preference for best value over lowest cost. Proposals judged unrealistically low will be disqualified, and failure to meet minimum solicitation requirements renders

USTDA recently funded a prior Global Civil Nuclear Energy DS Series. Due to high interest and a large number of prospective civil nuclear activities across the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and Eurasia (MENA-EE), Indo-Pacific, and Latin America & the Caribbean Regional (LAC) teams, the Regional teams recommended funding this DS with the potential to permit two awards for up to three (3) initial and four (4) full reviews to two separate offerors for a total of six (6 ) initial and eight (8) full reviews in order to more effectively manage bandwidth given the high volume of proposals. The DS contractor(s) would be expected to evaluate projects across the civil nuclear energy sector, including large light water reactor (“LWR”) and SMR technologies. The Contractor shall develop budgets and terms of reference for each activity that meets USTDA funding criteria.
