Amendment No. 1 is also hereby issued in response to questions received regarding the subject Request for Proposal (RFP) No. RFX-2026-10008. Please note that some questions may have been edited to address duplicate questions or to protect business-sensitive information provided in the original questions. The essences of the original questions are not affected. Questions are in no particular order. 1) If a company has a prototype turbine nearly complete, and would like to test, but anticipates the need to scale the system up to a larger size and output to achieve competitive LCOE (as in the Bergey 10kw to 15kw to 75kw example), would it be recommended to validate the existing design under topic 3.(PIT) and implement lessons learned by circling back to phase 1. (PDD) or would it be recommended to directly pursue topic 1. (PDD), to redesign the existing prototype towards a more competitive LCOE?
Offerors should select a topic area that aligns with the efforts they are ready to advance while considering the merit criteria for that topic area. The RFP also allows phased, multi-topic area proposals.
2) Will anyone outside of NLR/DOE be reviewing our proposal? No
3) Are Attachments 3–6, letters of commitment, the Price/Cost proposal, and supporting documents excluded from the page limit?
Yes
