Request for Whitepapers: AEDC Velocity Alliance - A Multi-Billion Dollar OTA Consortium Opportunity

The Government is issuing a Request for Whitepapers to establish the AEDC Velocity Alliance, a pre‑qualified consortium governed by the “AEDC Velocity Alliance Program Objectives” (SOO) and “Base Articles,” both of which are living documents that may be revised at any time. Vendors must submit a whitepaper that demonstrates the minimum technical competence and partnership capability required for Alliance membership; by doing so they acknowledge the foundational framework and agree to its ongoing updates. The onboarding process is phased, with whitepaper submissions and mandatory site‑visit windows for Opportunity 1 (June 1‑30 2026) and Opportunity 2 (September 1‑30 2026), a third opportunity to be determined, and the Alliance expected to become operational on July 1 2026. The solicitation notice remains open through September 30 2032, with possible extensions. All consortium members will receive full visibility of every future Project Opportunity Announcement (POA) regardless of the SOO type, and the Government will not create sub‑pools or filter opportunities based on onboarding performance. After admission, each vendor independently evaluates its capabilities and decides which POAs to pursue; selection methods for individual projects may vary and are not limited to additional whitepapers. This structure ensures a fair, competitive environment across all project categories, from general construction to utilities.
