The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has issued a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) seeking qualified subcontractors for Software Application and Web Development Services for its Innovative Data Energy Applications (IDEA) group. This group, focused on renewable energy technologies, requires flexible resources capable of handling various tasks, including UX Research, UX Design, Software Development, and Product Management. NREL aims to compile a source list from interested parties to potentially issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) later. The project is expected to last up to 60 months, requiring remote work with occasional travel to Colorado or Washington, D.C.
Interested companies must submit capability statements, demonstrating relevant experience and technical competencies in UX Research, UX Design, Software Development using JavaScript frameworks, and Product Management. The responses will help determine if a small business set-aside is appropriate. This process intended for market research does not guarantee an RFP or award, highlighting the necessity of registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) for any future contracts. The SSN serves to identify prospective candidates for upcoming project needs within NREL’s IDEA group.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is seeking subcontracting companies for Software Application and Web Development Services for its Innovative Data Energy Applications (IDEA) group. The focus is on enhancing user experience (UX) through research, design, and software development within its JavaScript-based applications, which are hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). With over 50 applications catering to various renewable energy technologies, NREL aims to address growing interest and project demands by identifying qualified vendors.
Interested parties must submit capability statements that demonstrate experience in four key areas: UX Research, UX Design, Software Development, and Product Management, each requiring 3-10 years of relevant experience. The project is anticipated to last up to five years, with remote work possible, barring occasional travel to Colorado or Washington, D.C.
This Sources Sought Notice (SSN) is a preliminary step to gauge provider interest and qualifications prior to a formal Request for Proposal (RFP), which will be issued based on the quality and quantity of responses. The Alliance for Sustainable Energy, managing NREL, may prioritize small businesses in forthcoming solicitations. Interested vendors should ensure they are registered with the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for future awards.
