Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002930
The DOE Partnership Intermediary Pilot (DE-FOA-0002930) is a Department of Energy, Golden Field Office broad agency announcement focused on gathering information rather than making immediate grant awards. DOE is essentially taking a market-scouting approach to learn what organizations already have the capability to serve as Partnership Intermediaries (PIs), especially those with established, credible working relationships across an innovative U.S. industrial base. The central intent is to map current capacity in the ecosystem and identify organizations that can connect DOE-related needs with industry partners, speed collaboration, and help move technologies and solutions toward real-world deployment.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses an "Other" funding instrument type, which signals that DOE is not presenting it as a standard grant competition with predefined award amounts and a set number of selections. In fact, the posted award ceiling is listed as 0 and expected awards are listed as 0, reinforcing that this announcement functions primarily as a request for information under a Broad Agency Announcement framework. Submitting a response is not a commitment by DOE to fund or enter into an agreement with any respondent, and it does not guarantee selection. Instead, DOE may use the information it collects to decide whether to hold follow-on discussions with one or more respondents, and those discussions could potentially lead to an agreement later, depending on DOE priorities and what it learns from the submissions.
Eligible applicants are public-sector and nonprofit entities, including state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). The funding activity category is energy, and the CFDA number is 81.010, which is commonly associated with DOE energy programming. The announcement was created on November 30, 2022, with an original closing date of January 3, 2023, meaning it ran on a relatively short timeline consistent with information-gathering efforts rather than a long-form competitive grant cycle.
Practically speaking, organizations responding would be expected to describe their current capabilities and experience relevant to acting as a Partnership Intermediary. That typically includes demonstrating networks and relationships with industry (often including small and medium-sized manufacturers, technology developers, suppliers, and other commercial partners), an ability to broker partnerships, and operational capacity to manage collaboration activities. DOE is looking for evidence that respondents can function as effective connectors between government objectives and private-sector innovation, particularly in ways that strengthen commercialization pathways, accelerate adoption of energy technologies, and support a more dynamic industrial base.
The full announcement is hosted on DOE's EERE Exchange portal. Interested parties were directed to review the complete BAA by visiting https://eere-exchange.energy.gov and searching for DE-FOA-0002930, which would contain the detailed instructions on what information DOE requested, how responses should be structured, and how DOE intended to use the information during any follow-on engagement.Apply for DE FOA 0002930
