The Alliance for Energy Innovation, LLC, acting as a contractor to the Department of Energy’s National Laboratory of the Rockies, has issued a Sources Sought Notice to conduct market research on the capabilities of potential vendors to support the development, maintenance, and enhancement of the System Advisor Model (SAM), an open-source software platform used for modeling the technical and economic performance of renewable energy systems including solar, wind, and geothermal technologies. Respondents are expected to demonstrate proven expertise in C++ software development, object-oriented architecture, and GUI development using wxWidgets, along with experience in energy and financial modeling across multiple markets. The effort requires the ability to deliver cross-platform software support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, perform ongoing troubleshooting and testing of production code, and collaborate effectively with technical subject matter experts to support annual software releases and long-term platform modernization. The scope focuses on software improvements rather than physical deliverables, with performance expected to be conducted in Golden, Colorado, and no physical packaging, labeling, or military standards apply. Responses must be submitted as a single PDF not exceeding two pages, excluding a cover page, via email to [email hidden] by July 10, 2026, with the subject line formatted as SS-2026030923 followed by the company name. The solicitation number is SS-2026030923, and the NAICS code is 541511 for Custom Computer Programming Services. While no formal contract, evaluation criteria, or binding clauses are present, the notice requests respondents to provide their size status and socioeconomic certifications—including Small Business, WOSB, SDVOSB, 8(a), and HUBZone—as the government is evaluating potential use of a small business set-aside in a future solicitation. No UEI or CAGE codes are required, and no payment, invoicing, or contract administration details are applicable at this stage; this notice serves solely as market research to inform a potential future procurement, and responses will not constitute offers or bids.

2026 Distributed Wind Turbine Competitiveness Improvement Project
Solicitation # RFX-2026-10008
The 2026 Distributed Wind Turbine Competitiveness Improvement Project, solicitation RFX-2026-10008, is a best-value selection effort managed by the National Laboratory of the Rockies under the Department of Energy. This project seeks firm fixed-price subcontracts with price participation to advance distributed wind R&D across thirteen specific topic areas. These areas are categorized into wind turbine development, including prototype design, manufacture, installation, and certification; power electronics development, covering design, pre-testing, and listing; and common areas such as manufacturing process innovation, technology commercialization, and field validation. The project emphasizes the use of U.S.-based companies and work, with a particular focus on curating a diverse cohort of small American businesses across various geographic locations, turbine sizes, and system configurations. The anticipated period of performance is twenty-one months per topic area, though field validation activities may extend up to sixty months. Funding is capped per topic, with maximums ranging from 200,000 dollars for design and commercialization to 800,000 dollars for prototype manufacture, type certification, power electronics pre-testing, and manufacturing process innovation. Performance is measured using the Levelized Cost of Energy as a primary figure of merit. Technical requirements include adherence to ANSI/ACP 101-1-2021 for small turbines and UL 6141 or UL 6142 for electrical safety. Award decisions are based on a combination of team qualifications and technical merit, with a strong emphasis on the applicant's ability to execute projects within the U.S. distributed wind market.

Building America Subject Matter Expert Technical Support
Solicitation # RFP-2026-10245()
The National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR), managed by the Alliance for Energy Innovation, LLC, is soliciting proposals under RFP-2026-10245 to engage technical subject matter experts (SMEs) in support of the Department of Energy's Building America program. The scope of work focuses on two primary areas: new construction support, which emphasizes factory optimization, product design, materials innovation, and digital modeling to reduce costs and increase construction speed; and envelope retrofits, which aims to lower utility bills by addressing moisture, humidity, and infiltration in existing homes. SMEs will be responsible for technical assistance, field validation, data collection, industry analysis, and knowledge transfer to help stakeholders scale high-quality, affordable building practices. NLR intends to award up to ten Firm Fixed Price Work Order Process subcontracts, each featuring a 12-month basic period with four additional 12-month options, for a total potential duration of 60 months. Each subcontract has an expected annual funding of approximately 100,000 dollars and a five-year ceiling of 500,000 dollars. Awards are based on Best Value Selection, where qualitative merit—specifically technical expertise, research capability, collaboration, and knowledge transfer—is weighted substantially more heavily than the proposed fully burdened labor rates. Proposals must be submitted electronically as PDF files and include a technical proposal limited to eight pages, a price proposal, and required representations, certifications, and organizational conflict of interest statements.
