PADS is the Department of Energy's central repository of contractual information for all unclassified procurement and financial assistance awards.  The data found in PADS On-line have been specifically selected based on hundreds of information requests that flow through DOE each year.  Not all of the PADS data are selected for display on PADS ON-LINE.

PADS Online is sponsored by the Office of Procurement and Assistance Management. If you have any questions concerning this data base, or require additional information about any of the awards listed in PADS Online, please send an email to mara.grissom@hq.doe.gov.

PADS Online provides information on the name of the awardee, the award and completion dates, award value, current fiscal year funding (obligations), the type of business, and a brief description of work.

You are not required to enter any selection criteria. However, by default, the system will provide a complete listing of all active procurement and financial assistance awards, if no selection criteria are entered.

You may sort on Contractor Name, Contract Number, Total Award Value, Completion Date, and Award Date.
