Opportunity Summary:
Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies (AFFECT) 2017 is a Department of Energy notice of intent that signals an upcoming competitive funding opportunity focused on improving energy performance at federal facilities. The notice was released by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) on behalf of the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), with the Golden Field Office listed as the agency office. In practical terms, this is not the grant announcement itself; it is an advance heads-up to the market that DOE planned to publish a formal Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for AFFECT 2017 in the near term, and that interested organizations should start preparing for it.
A key point in the notice is that it is informational only and does not accept applications. The document explicitly states that no applications will be accepted through the notice of intent, and it also asks potential applicants not to submit questions or otherwise respond to the notice. DOE also emphasizes that everything described is subject to change: the eventual FOA could match what is previewed, it could end up being substantially different, or DOE could decide not to issue the FOA at all. The notice indicates that the FOA was anticipated to be posted on the EERE eXCHANGE platform in December 2016, which is DOE EEREs central portal for publishing and managing these kinds of funding competitions.
From the available metadata, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under the energy funding activity category, with CFDA number 81.117. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, with the caveat that final eligibility rules would be defined in the FOA text (the notice notes that any clarifications would appear in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section). The record shows an award ceiling value of 2 (as presented in the source data), expected awards listed as 0 in the notice stage, and an original closing date field that reiterates applications are not being accepted through the notice of intent. The opportunity is referenced with the identifier DE-FOA-0001672 in the notice record, while the planned FOA itself is also referenced as DE-FOA-0001667 within the description, reinforcing that this is pre-solicitation communication rather than the final solicitation package.
In terms of what DOE wanted prospective applicants to do, the guidance is preparatory: begin developing partnerships, formulating project ideas, and gathering supporting data so that once the FOA is released, applicants can respond quickly with well-scoped proposals. Given the AFFECT name and its administration through FEMP, the implied focus is on energy conservation technologies and strategies that can be deployed or demonstrated in federal buildings and facilities, aligning with FEMP's broader mission of helping federal agencies reduce energy use, costs, and environmental impacts. For the authoritative details, the notice directs readers to the full NOI posted on EERE eXCHANGE (the notice of intent is labeled DE-FOA-0001672 on that site).
