Bolstering Underutilized Industry by Leveraging Technology Transfer (BUILTT) for DOE
The Department of Energy (DOE) and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) are offering small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) the opportunity to license and manufacture low-volume, high-impact technologies through the BUILTT pilot program. The program introduces a Cost Reduction License (CRL) allowing SMBs to produce and supply these technologies to the government at a set price. Participation is open to U.S.-based SMBs, with preference for businesses near participating DOE/NNSA sites in Nevada, Tennessee, and Missouri, or those with SBA 8(a) or HUBZone designations. The program will be conducted in phases, including technology pooling, SMB vetting, and matchmaking, with educational materials provided to participants. No specific budget amounts, submission deadlines, or performance locations beyond the general site regions are mentioned.
