At OpenAI, we’re committed to doing our part. Since launching our Stargate initiative almost one year ago, we’ve announced planned capacity that puts us well over halfway to meeting our 10-gigawatt commitment. These investments are already translating into good jobs and local economic growth in communities across the country. Over the coming years, we’ll build on this progress by strengthening the broader domestic AI supply chain and accelerating investment in U.S. manufacturing capabilities that support American AI leadership.

As part of that work, today we’re launching a new Request for Proposals⁠(opens in a new window) (RFP) focused on U.S.-based manufacturing across key parts of the AI supply chain, including data center inputs, consumer electronics, and robotics. Our goal is to identify and enable domestic manufacturing capacity that can help shorten timelines, strengthen resilience, and extend technology leadership as AI infrastructure scales.

We’re seeking proposals from manufacturers, suppliers, and partners who are building – or are prepared to build – critical components and systems for the AI ecosystem in the United States, including:

When people talk about AI infrastructure, the conversation often stops at chips and data centers. But advanced AI depends on a much broader ecosystem of physical components: the racks, cabling, networking gear, cooling systems, power systems, power electronics, electromechanical modules, and testing and assembly capacity are all required to bring it all online at scale. Our RFP aims to build on momentum that already exists by identifying where targeted partnerships, demand signals, and coordination can help unlock faster growth, larger scale, and more durable U.S. leadership in AI.
