The work to be conducted under this contract specifically involves services to support implementing, managing, assessing and monitoring projects.  A project is defined as an individual activity conducted under the laboratories programs and sub-programs (a definitely formulated piece of research).  Currently, NETL administers approximately 1,800 individual projects (internal and external).  Anticipated work assignments for this service contract would support activities primarily at the Morgantown and Pittsburgh sites, requiring on-site presence at both sites and potential travel to other locations.  The work requires the application of a mix of technical expertise in scientific and engineering disciplines appropriate for the range of projects for each program area, project management expertise to enhance the success of project-related activities, and expertise to effectively manage project-specific information/data.

The Contractor shall provide technical and administrative support services for project execution, implementation and management as well as provide general assistance for other project related activities, such as acquisition planning, validation assessments and studies, outreach, and training.  (Note: Contractor will not act as Project Manager for the individual projects.)  The Contractor shall manage their workforce and the overall execution of work to ensure appropriate staffing of individual tasks, integration of work products, communications among tasks, and coordination within the program organizational structure.

Task assignments for this contract shall focus on the execution and implementation of services that support project based functions and will provide support to all NETL organizational elements including, but not limited to, the Office of Systems Analysis and Planning, the Strategic Center for Natural Gas and Oil, the Strategic Center for Coal, the Project Management Center and the Office of Research and Development.  In addition, work under this service contract will support efforts sponsored by other DOE offices and government agencies which currently include, but are not limited to, DOE’s Offices of Fossil Energy (FE), Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE).
