Argonne RFP No 4-JV79-P-00288-00 for Industrial Competitiveness Strategy of Clean Energy Supply Chains and Industrial Decarbonization.zip

This document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the "Industrial Competitiveness Strategy of Clean Energy Supply Chains and Industrial Decarbonization" contract opportunity, solicitation number 4-JV79-P-00288-00, issued by the Department of Energy Office of Science.

The successful contractor is expected to have a broad range of expertise, including in electric grid supply chains, risk assessment, and cost competitiveness assessment. The analysis from this effort will contribute to the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) Mapping, Modeling, and Analysis Consortium's (MMAC) goals of informing the current status of critical electric grid supply chains and developing a strategy to improve domestic competitiveness and manufacturing opportunities. Key data collection requirements include filling gaps for large power transformers, distribution transformers, and HVDC transmission systems, as well as comprehensive supply chain mapping and data gathering. The project aims to strengthen and broaden the MMAC's supply chain readiness level (SCRL) methodology and assessment of critical grid components, in support of national security, economic growth, and environmental sustainability.
