This solicitation will be issued under the OCED Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.
The goal of this pre-solicitation is to support the validation of existing pilot projects or subsystems in a relevant industrial environment; to increase their technology readiness to the point of being ready to be integrated in a large clean energy infrastructure project; and to increase their adoption readiness level[1] to medium/high.
OCED will prioritize technologies and application use cases that exhibit technological diversity when compared to the existing OCED portfolio of demonstration projects[2] or that have not already been demonstrated at a scale larger than the proposed project. The PROVE IT solicitation will be issued as a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)-based[3] request for proposals.
OCED anticipates awarding milestone-based firm-fixed priced contracts under this solicitation. [1] https://www. energy.
