AI Contract Overview

The Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory intends to award a sole source service contract to AspenTech for the renewal of software maintenance and support for its proprietary engineering software, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. This action is justified under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Part 12 due to the proprietary nature of AspenTech’s software, where no alternative vendor can provide equivalent maintenance and support without risking operational failure, data loss, or disruption to critical research activities. The laboratory emphasizes that without this continued support, its ability to efficiently operate and maintain access to essential engineering tools would be severely compromised. This notice serves as an opportunity for other potential providers to demonstrate their capability to meet the specific requirements, but any decision not to open the contract to competition rests solely with the government. Interested parties must submit written evidence of their ability to fulfill the requirement by 5:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time on August 7, 2026, to Contract Specialist Shannon Lynch via email at shannon.lynch@netl.doe.gov; telephone responses will not be accepted. The contract falls under NAICS code 513210 and is managed from NETL’s office in Morgantown, West Virginia.

95--Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism Study RFI
Solicitation # 89243326NFE000233
The Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory is seeking input from U.S. industry, academia, and other stakeholders to support a Congressionally directed study on the carbon intensity of American-manufactured goods affected by the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. This Request for Information targets producers, trade associations, researchers, and technology providers in key sectors including iron and steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizers, and hydrogen, focusing specifically on CO2, N2O, and PFC emissions tied to production processes. Respondents are asked to submit facility-level or product-level data on energy use, fuel and feedstock consumption, electricity sources, emissions outputs, and recycling practices, along with methodologies used to calculate carbon intensity and comparisons to EU CBAM requirements. The goal is to build a transparent, data-driven analysis of U.S. emissions profiles to inform policy and counter potential trade disadvantages. Responses must be submitted by September 2, 2026, and are limited to a three-page narrative with supporting Excel data appendices. All submissions are voluntary and at the respondent’s expense, with no reimbursement for costs or travel. Confidential business information may be submitted with proper markings under 10 CFR 1004.11, but unmarked data will be treated as public. The RFI explicitly states this is not a solicitation for proposals or contracts, and the government takes no obligation to act on the information received. NETL is particularly interested in understanding technical and financial barriers to compliance, differences in emissions intensity between U.S. and international production, and recommendations for improving the methodology used to calculate national average emissions per tariff code. Input will help shape a report required under H.R. 6938 and support efforts to ensure U.S. manufacturers are fairly represented in the global carbon regulatory landscape.
