Bonneville Power Administration’s (BPA) Technology Innovation (TI) Opportunity Announcement package
See instructions below for submitting your proposal. In lieu of contracts, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) will be used, allowing BPA to work with federal and non-federal parties. The purpose of the work is to collaborate in developing new technologies that align with BPA’s research agenda. The MOA is an essential tool for establishing these working relationships. At this time, no BPA financial resources are available. Instead, BPA will contribute subject-matter-expert (SME) time, access to system data (pending adherence to FISMA requirements), or system resources for testing and validating new technologies.
As part of the opportunity package, a draft MOA is included for reference. Depending on the nature of the proposal, the MOA will be modified to reflect deliverable requirements, technology transfer activities, and other considerations. An MOA will not be drafted unless the proposal is selected.
Please review the entire announcement package prior to submitting a proposal. BPA is under no obligation to consider submittals that do not include all the required information - a “required documents” checklist is provided as part of this announcement. Applicants should periodically review the website for any updates - no other notices will be provided.
If you have questions, please contact Jess B. Kincaid, Director of Technology Innovation.
