The GSA and DOE have issued an RFI to gather responses from vendors and other interested parties on technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from commercial buildings and vehicle fleets and improve grid efficiency and resiliency. These technologies should be early- or underutilized-commercial; ready for evaluation in occupied, operational buildings; and have significant potential for equitable and broad adoption in the U.S. marketplace.

‍

This RFI is particularly interested in technologies that support the transition to all- electric vehicle fleets. Examples of fleet technologies of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Electric vehicle supply equipment (“EVSE”) charge management solutions

• Vehicle-to-everything solutions

• Systems or tools that enable EVSE data collection,

reporting, interconnection, or any combination of the foregoing, including:

• Systems or tools that enable reservation and payment systems

• Systems that leverage Open Charge Point Protocol to provide interoperability across charging network providers. Capabilities include single pane of glass dashboards, data and key performance indicator reporting, and other equipment-agnostic functionality

‍

Responses to this RFI will be evaluated and considered for inclusion in GSA’s GPG or Applied Innovation Learning Lab programs (for federally owned facilities), the Demonstrating Efficient Solutions - Buildings program facilitated by DOE (for privately owned facilities), or any combination of the preceding. Additional information can be found here→. Interested parties should respond to this RFI by completing the web-based application→.
