Opportunity Summary:
This posting is a Notice of Intent from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) meant to give organizations an early heads-up that a future Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is planned. The Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO), working under DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), indicates that it expects to release an FOA titled "Hydrogen Delivery Technologies" with the identifier DE-FOA-0000821. The notice itself is informational only and is hosted through the EERE eXCHANGE portal, which is DOE's primary online system for publishing EERE funding opportunities and receiving applications once an actual FOA is open.
A key point of the notice is that it is not an application solicitation. No applications will be accepted under this Notice of Intent, and DOE explicitly instructs readers not to submit applications, questions, or other responses to this notice. Instead, the intent is to give prospective applicants time to prepare so they can respond quickly and competitively after the formal FOA is issued. The notice encourages interested parties to start building partnerships, shaping project concepts, and gathering the technical, cost, and market data they would likely need for a strong proposal once the official announcement is released.
The anticipated timing for the actual FOA release is described as in or around the July/August timeframe (relative to the notice posting date of June 27, 2013). Because this is only a preliminary notice, it does not provide award amounts, the number of awards, topic areas, or evaluation criteria. In the source data, the estimated total funding and award ceiling/floor are shown as 0, which is typical for a Notice of Intent because it is not yet committing funds or opening a competition. The opportunity category is listed as discretionary, and the funding activity category is energy, with CFDA 81.087 (Renewable Energy Research and Development). Cost sharing is listed as not required in the notice record, though in practice applicants would still need to confirm cost-share requirements in the final FOA because those requirements are set in the full solicitation.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning the notice does not limit applicant types at this stage, although it also notes eligibility is subject to any clarifications that may appear in the FOA text. The agency office associated with the posting is DOE's Golden Field Office. Anyone planning to apply once the FOA is released is instructed to register and create an account in the EERE eXCHANGE system ahead of time, since that portal is typically required for submission. A user guide is referenced through an EERE website link to help new users navigate the eXCHANGE system after logging in.
For access issues with the full announcement materials, the notice provides a point of contact: Scott Schmitz (scott.schmitz@go.doe.gov). The notice was posted and created on June 27, 2013, and it lists an archive date of September 27, 2013, reflecting the administrative lifecycle of the notice rather than an application deadline, since applications are not accepted under this posting.
