Submittals containing proprietary information must be clearly marked to protect sensitive data. Inspection and acceptance of deliverables occur on-site at TAN-677, with DOE oversight ensuring all performance and safety criteria are met. The current stage is preliminary market research via sources-sought solicitation (No. INL-026-035), with an EOI deadline of January 29, 2027. Detailed contractual terms, evaluation criteria, pricing data, and delivery schedules will be established in subsequent contract phases.
