Doing Business with the Department of Energy

The Department of Energy (DOE) obligates over $20 billion each fiscal year in contracts and financial assistance agreements.  The purpose of this page is to provide interested parties with "one-stop shopping" for information on business and financial assistance opportunities, including points of contact at the Department's contracting activities at Headquarters and in the field.

Assistance is provided regarding Federal regulatory and internal Department of Energy's acquisition policies, contact information for each DOE Procurement Director at Headquarters and the field, and possible subcontracting opportunities, as well as information on perspective financial assistance recipients of DOE financial assistance awards.

Review of Funding Proposals Referred to as "Earmarks"

The FY 2007 Revised Continuing Resolution (P.L. 110-5, SEC. 112) contained language stating, "Any language specifying an earmark in a committee report or statement of managers accompanying an Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2006 shall have no legal effect with respect to funds appropriated by this division." As a result, a February 2 guidance memorandum from the Secretary's Chief of Staff was issued stating that only those (earmarks) with meritorious proposals or programs that meet the Department's missions and objectives should receive FY 2007 funding. Additionally, OMB Director Rob Portman released a February 15 guidance memorandum similarly stating that agencies should fund activities (earmarks) based on specific criteria and merit-based decision-making. The Department of Energy considers the evaluation of all funding proposals very important and, with the extra emphasis placed on earmarks in FY 2007, each DOE program office will review all unsolicited proposals carefully. For more information on a particular activity, please contact the appropriate DOE program office.
