About this agency
The Department of Energy Advanced Office of the Secretary, a sub-agency within the civilian Department of Energy, funds and administers technology partnerships, policy analysis, and strategic initiatives that advance the department's mission across energy security, innovation, and global engagement. The office operates primarily through contracts rather than grants.
The Advanced Office has issued 95 federal contracts since 1980, with $49 million in combined potential value and $39.8 million obligated to date (81% of potential). Recent activity has declined substantially: the office awarded 4 contracts in 2022, 7 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 1 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on March 18, 2026. Across the portfolio, 67 distinct prime contractors have been awarded at least one contract.
The competitive landscape is fragmented. Over the last five years, Accenture Federal Services LLC leads by potential value at $12 million from a single award, followed by Red Carrot Inc. at $2.6 million and BCG Federal Corp. at $750 thousand. By award count, Leadership Connect Inc. holds three recent awards ($102 thousand combined potential value), while Accenture, Environment & Energy Publishing, Marriott International, and Thundercat Technology each hold one award apiece. The top five primes by award count represent 33 percent of recent awards; the top five by potential value represent 34 percent of combined potential value. The long tail of smaller vendors and one-off awards reflects a highly fragmented prime base. A substantial portion of recent activity is documented through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or modifications with potential value not reported in source data.
Nearly all awards (93 percent of 95 total) carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides account for 6 percent of the portfolio: 3 awards (3 percent) are 8(a) sole-source awards and 2 awards (2 percent) are Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business designations; 1 award (1 percent) is designated Total Small Business.
The Advanced Office has issued only one grant award on record: a Cooperative Agreement awarded on October 1, 2010. No grant opportunities are currently under solicitation, and no recent grant activity is documented in the portfolio.
No recent contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded against the Advanced Office of the Secretary.
