Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is offering no-cost technical assistance to qualifying small businesses through the Hydropower Testing Network (HyTN) voucher program.

Selected recipients will receive laboratory services from INL in support of hydropower development, testing, and analysis, funded through a U.S.

HyTN-50 — Interconnection Analysis, Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing, and Governor Performance Assessment Services covering hydropower interconnection studies, HIL testing, and governor performance evaluation.

HyTN-73 — HydroSHIELD Hydropower Assessment Hydropower assessment services under the HydroSHIELD capability.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Interested small businesses should identify the capability that best aligns with their project needs, then register through the program's application portal.

Applicants will provide a brief description of their project and company purpose, and rank their top three voucher selections in order of priority.

The scope of work for each capability is intentionally broad and is developed collaboratively between INL and the selected recipient.

Projects that align with the general scope of any listed capability may be eligible for support.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: July 23rd ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Full capability descriptions and registration are available through the links provided with this notice.

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
