SUMMARY


The Idaho National Laboratory seeks small business software publishing firms to provide COTS software, licensing, maintenance, and support, with compliance to federal and cybersecurity requirements. Interested vendors may be invited to a future RFP process.

DESCRIPTION


Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA), the Management & Operating Contractor of the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory (INL), is seeking expressions of interest from qualified small businesses certified under NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers) and registered in SAM.gov. Companies must be capable of supplying commercially available software products, software licensing, renewals, maintenance, updates, and technical support solutions that conform to INL's operational and cybersecurity standards.

The scope of work includes providing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software, license management, product specifications, technical documentation, and support resources. Vendors should ensure timely software delivery, deployment capabilities, and support for configuration, troubleshooting, and compatibility matters. All provided software must meet INL's cybersecurity and federal procurement requirements, and proof of software publisher authorization may be required.

This Expression of Interest is an initial step to identify qualified small businesses for future procurement opportunities. Responses will inform the development of a formal solicitation list, and selected vendors may later be invited to participate in a Request for Proposal (RFP) for contract award consideration.
