In support of the CNC Program’s need to evaluate whether individual nuclear reactors are at risk of shutdown due to economic factors, DOE has identified that Subject matter expertise on economic factors and post-award application plans is necessary to review all the documentation provided in the certification application to meet the timeline that was instituted for the CNC Program by the IIJA. Contractor(s) will provide subject matter expertise to assist DOE in the evaluation of economic factors for submitted applications for certification and possible conditional credit allocation. DOE is unable to determine, in advance, the number of applications it will receive until the date the respective award cycle closes, so the full level of work will not be understood until that time.
