Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE-PS36-09GO39008), posted by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Golden Field Office on February 26, 2009, is a Request for Information (RFI) focused on wind energy and U.S. wind manufacturing. It is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), which means DOE is not offering funding through this notice and is not accepting grant applications. Instead, DOE is gathering input and feedback related to two specific events: the proceedings of the "20% Wind Energy by 2030 Workshop" and the proceedings of the "U.S. Wind Manufacturing Workshop." The intent is to collect information that can help DOE understand the outcomes, themes, lessons learned, and potential gaps or opportunities identified during those workshops.
Because this is an RFI, the main purpose is market and stakeholder outreach rather than awarding grants. DOE states that it will review submitted responses and may use them to shape future program strategies in renewable energy research and development (CFDA 81.087). However, DOE also makes clear that it will not pay for any information submitted and that there is no guarantee an FOA or any future funding opportunity will be issued as a result of the information received. In other words, respondents should treat participation as voluntary input into DOE planning, not as a step in a competitive funding process.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses an "Other" funding instrument type, reflecting that it is an information-gathering action rather than a standard grant or cooperative agreement competition. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity may respond (for example, companies, universities, national labs, nonprofits, state or local governments, trade associations, and individuals), subject to any clarifications that may appear in the full RFI text. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement since no award is being made. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, reinforcing that there is no funding attached to this notice.
Key dates include a posted and created date of February 26, 2009, with responses due by March 27, 2009. The archive date is June 26, 2009. Parties interested in the complete RFI were instructed to access the full document via a link located at the bottom of the original posting page. Questions about the content of the RFI were directed to DOE's Industrial Interactive Procurement System (IIPS) using the "Submit Question" feature through the e-center website. For technical or access issues, the notice lists the IIPS HelpDesk (iipshelpdesk@e-center.doe.gov), and a point of contact, Pamela Brodie (pamela.brodie@go.doe.gov), for assistance related to the announcement.
