Touch Screen Tactile Enhancements

Buyer not available

The Department of Energy, specifically the Fluor Marine Propulsion office, is soliciting proposals for the development of Touch Screen Tactile Enhancements aimed at improving training for Navy sailors. The objective is to create technologies that enhance tactile feedback for touch screen-based training panels, which currently lack the physical interaction and muscle memory provided by traditional hardware panels. This initiative is crucial for maintaining operational fleet readiness and reducing costs associated with physical training panels. Interested suppliers must submit their technical proposals, including a one-page Quad Chart and a narrative of up to five pages, by the specified deadline to Jon Ruffley at Jonathan.Ruffley@unnpp.gov. A pre-proposal conference will be held for inquiries, and confidentiality regarding proposal content is emphasized.

Dissolved Non-Condensable Gas Testing

Buyer not available

The Department of Energy, through the Naval Nuclear Laboratory, is soliciting proposals for a project focused on "Dissolved Non-Condensable Gas Testing." This initiative aims to conduct experiments that quantify the behavior of non-condensable gases (NCGs) such as nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen in water during various processes, including diffusion across steam/water interfaces, condensation, boiling, and flashing under different temperature and pressure conditions. The research is critical for advancing nuclear technology and improving operational efficiencies, with proposals due by April 8, 2025. Interested suppliers must submit a one-page Quad Chart and a five-page narrative detailing their project approach, along with adherence to disclosure protocols for sensitive information. For further inquiries, contact ATIP at ATIP@unnpp.gov.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF NAVAL POWER AND ENERGY SYSTEMS (N00024-19-R-4145 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA))

Buyer not available

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF NAVAL POWER AND ENERGY SYSTEMS (Combined Synopsis/Solicitation DEPT OF DEFENSE DEPT OF THE NAVY) The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy, is seeking research and development proposals for naval power and energy systems. These systems are crucial for providing power and energy to Navy ships, both current and future, at various levels including major components, subsystems, and the overall system. The goal is to advance and improve shipboard electric power and energy systems. The Electric Ships Office, part of the Program Executive Office Ships, is leading this effort on behalf of the Navy. They are interested in long and short term research and development projects that have the potential to enhance ship power systems. The focus areas include shipboard power generation, electric propulsion, power conversion, energy storage, distribution and control, power quality, continuity, and system stability. The Navy is particularly interested in technologies that can improve energy efficiency, power density, and carbon footprint compared to existing propulsion and power system technologies. They are also looking for advancements in energy storage, power conversion, power distribution, prime movers (including power generation), rotating machines (including generators and propulsion motors), cooling and thermal management, power controls, and system interplay, interfacing, and integration. Proposals must be submitted in the form of White Papers, and awards may take the form of contracts, cooperative agreements, or other transaction agreements. The Navy reserves the right to select proposals and award contracts based on the evaluation criteria specified in the announcement. For more information and to submit White Papers, interested parties can contact Joseph Tannenbaum at joseph.tannenbaum@navy.mil or John Anderson at john.anderson6@navy.mil. This is a great opportunity for researchers and developers to contribute to the advancement of naval power and energy systems, ultimately enhancing the capabilities of Navy ships.

Grid Research Integration and Deployment Center Technology Collaborations for US Power Electronics Industries

Buyer not available

The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is seeking U.S. industry partners for collaborative projects at its Grid Research Integration and Deployment Center (GRID-C) to advance power electronics technologies for grid modernization. ORNL invites cost-shared proposals from industries aligned with its facilities and expertise in areas such as Materials & Components, Embedded Controllers, and Subsystems Devices. Selected partners will work closely with ORNL staff, leveraging its unique capabilities to demonstrate innovative grid integration solutions. The focus is on accelerating the development of resilient and energy-efficient power electronics, with projects conducted in short timeframes. Industry participants are required to contribute at least 20% of the project cost, which can include in-kind contributions, and must align with ORNL's facilities and capabilities. GRID-C collaborations aim to strengthen the U.S. power electronics industry and clean energy landscape. Proposals are evaluated based on technical feasibility, commercialization potential, and their impact on grid improvement. This initiative supports the DOE Transformer Resilience and Advanced Components (TRAC) Program's mission. For more details, eligible industries should refer to the proposal guidelines and contact Dr. Madhu Chinthavali for inquiries. The announcement remains open, with funding available through the DOE contract.
