How to bid on a Technology Licensing Opportunity for ReactorCast from the Department of Energy
What the agency is buying and why a vendor would care
The Department of Energy is offering a licensing opportunity for ReactorCast, a custom software platform. ReactorCast models nuclear workforce needs and costs across the entire lifecycle of nuclear projects, from planning to decommissioning. This tool helps organizations make strategic decisions about staffing, site selection, and technology choices.
This is not a call for services to develop the technology. Instead, it is an opportunity for companies to license and utilize this existing software. ReactorCast provides real-time analytics and visual dashboards to track workforce flows and model the impact of policy, regulatory, and investment decisions on workforce development. It helps answer critical business strategy questions for executives, investors, and leaders regarding talent availability, site selection, and long-term staffing costs.

This opportunity was published on May 12, 2026. The deadline for responding to this licensing opportunity is June 30, 2027, at 7:00 PM ET. This means all expressions of interest or licensing proposals must be submitted by this time.

Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for companies involved in the nuclear industry, energy sector, or strategic planning and consulting, particularly those focused on human capital and project lifecycle management. It is ideal for organizations that could benefit from advanced modeling capabilities to assess workforce requirements, costs, and risks associated with nuclear projects.
Firms interested in technology licensing, especially in the software and analytics category, would find this relevant.
