Remote Operations and Maintenance Systems Development

The contract seeks the design and deployment of advanced robotic systems capable of performing remote handling and maintenance tasks in high-radiation environments associated with nuclear operations. The primary objective is to develop specialized robotics that can operate reliably under extreme conditions where human access is hazardous or impossible, ensuring the safe and efficient upkeep of nuclear infrastructure. The work will focus on integrating robust sensors, radiation-hardened components, and precision manipulation tools to enable autonomous or remotely guided interventions in complex nuclear facilities. Performance of this work is specifically required at Idaho Falls, Idaho, with a response deadline of June 19, 2026. This is a subcontract opportunity governed under NAICS code 334516, which pertains to the manufacturing of industrial and commercial robots. The contract is managed by the Department of Energy through its Environmental Management Business Center, indicating a direct alignment with national nuclear cleanup and facility sustainment goals. Interested parties must be prepared to deliver cutting-edge robotic solutions that meet stringent operational and safety standards for use in legacy and active nuclear sites.
