FFRDC Mobile Lab (MITRE)

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security and Emergency Response is forecasting a future contract opportunity for a Mobile Lab under the FFRDC framework managed by MITRE. This effort is categorized under NAICS code 541512, which pertains to Computer Systems Design and Related Services, and is intended to support technical capabilities in cybersecurity, energy security, and emergency response missions. The place of performance is designated as Virginia, indicating that most operational activities will be conducted within that state. The acquisition is not currently set aside for any specific small business category, and the type of set aside is listed as “other,” leaving open the possibility for a range of contractor participation models. Point of contact for small business engagement includes Jennifer Passaro and Walter Yamben, both serving as Small Business Program Managers at the Department of Energy, and they can be reached via their official DOE email addresses. The solicitation is still in the forecast stage as of August 2026, meaning no formal request for proposals has been issued yet, and interested parties should monitor official DOE procurement channels for subsequent updates or formal solicitations. This forecast signals an upcoming need for advanced mobile laboratory services to enhance the Department’s operational responsiveness and technical mission support.
