Quick Summary

The Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory (INL), specifically Facilities & Site Services (F&SS), is hosting an Industry Discovery Forum to engage with industry partners and provide early visibility into upcoming electrical Transmission and Distribution (T&D) infrastructure improvement projects. This Expression of Interest (EOI) seeks to identify experienced T&D engineering firms and constructor teams interested in attending. Vendor responses are due May 19, 2026.

Purpose & Scope

This EOI aims to gauge interest and develop a list of vendors for the forum. The event will cover anticipated scope needs, project timelines (FY26-FY31), and general requirements for future T&D projects. INL's 138 kV transmission system, in service for over 75 years, requires significant reliability and infrastructure projects to meet future load demands. F&SS intends to use a design-build project execution strategy.

  • What: Industry Discovery Forum with presentations, high-level project overviews, Q&A, INL site requirements (access, safety, Davis-Bacon, SSA), and focused T&D discussions.
  • When: Mid-June 2026 (half-day event).

  • Company name and primary point of contact.
  • Description of services provided in support of F&SS needs.
  • Number of representatives requesting to attend.
  • Summary of relevant capabilities and resources.
