# DOE Selects Oak Ridge Lab for Genesis Awards

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) was selected for six Phase II awards under the Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission on October 8, 2026. The mission focuses on secure, autonomous super-intelligence for scientific research, energy, cybersecurity, and national security. ORNL also reports a planned HPE Discovery computing system expected in 2028; the announcement provides no award values, solicitation details, or procurement contacts.

- The six selections indicate activity across DOE’s advanced computing and research priorities, but the available information does not identify specific scopes, contract structures, or supplier opportunities.
- HPE is associated with ORNL’s planned Discovery system, while AMD is also identified among the extracted vendors; no specific contractual roles are provided for either.
- Contractors can use the mission’s stated focus areas to assess relevant research, computing, cybersecurity, and energy capabilities, and look for follow-on announcements that provide solicitation and award details.
