AI infrastructure is a trillion-dollar race, and OpenAI just made a massive move to secure the home turf. The company has launched a new Request for Proposal (RFP) specifically designed to strengthen the U.S. AI supply chain. It's not just about code anymore; it's about bricks, mortar, and silicon.

According to Reuters, the initiative focuses on accelerating domestic manufacturing and scaling infrastructure at an unprecedented rate. By January 2026, OpenAI aims to have a concrete framework for job creation and industrial scaling. This move aligns with broader national interests to reduce dependency on foreign hardware components.

The RFP doesn't just look for vendors; it seeks partners to build the foundation of the next industrial era. While critics point to the billions of dollars in required capital, proponents argue that domestic control over the AI stack is essential for national security and economic resilience.
