Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a Notice of Intent, meaning it is not an active funding announcement and it is not accepting applications. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), through the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Vehicles Technologies Office, signaled that it planned to release a forthcoming Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled "Alternative Fuel and Advanced Vehicle Procurement Aggregating Initiatives" with the identifier DE-FOA-0001237. The main purpose of publishing the notice was to give potential applicants an early heads-up so they could start preparing in advance by building partnerships, developing project concepts, and collecting the data they would likely need once the actual FOA was released. The notice also explicitly instructs readers not to submit applications, questions, or responses to the Notice of Intent itself.
From a program and administrative standpoint, the notice is categorized as a discretionary federal funding action and indicates that the eventual funding instrument would be a cooperative agreement, which typically implies a more hands-on federal role during the project period compared to a standard grant. The activity category is transportation, and it is associated with CFDA number 81.086 (Conservation Research and Development). Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to many entity types (for example, state and local governments, nonprofits, universities, and private sector organizations), though the notice notes that any detailed eligibility conditions would be clarified in the full FOA text once posted. The notice states there is no cost share or matching requirement for the Notice itself; however, cost share requirements often appear in the actual FOA, so applicants would need to confirm that once the full announcement was published.
The funding fields in this notice (estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor) are all shown as zero, which is typical for a Notice of Intent because it does not obligate funds and does not yet define award sizes. Key dates also reflect that it is informational rather than competitive: it was posted on November 18, 2014, and the archive date is February 18, 2015. The notice anticipated that the full FOA would be posted to the EERE Exchange site in February 2015, which is DOE's platform where applicants would eventually find the complete requirements, deadlines, submission instructions, and evaluation criteria for DE-FOA-0001237.
The issuing agency information lists the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in connection with the announcement, and the provided point of contact is Maureen B. Davison, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 412-386-5163 or by email at Maureen.Davison@NETL.DOE.GOV. The notice also includes the EERE Exchange link as the place to monitor for the actual FOA release. In practical terms, the message to prospective applicants is to treat this as an early warning and planning signal only: no application can be submitted until the formal FOA (DE-FOA-0001237) is released, at which point the official scope, required submissions, and any funding amounts would be defined.
