Energy Information Administration

The Department of Energy Energy Information Administration is a civilian sub-agency that conducts energy market data collection, analysis, and reporting to support federal energy policy and industrial decision-making; it operates within the Department of Energy and administers both contract work and grant funding, though its primary footprint is contract-based.

The Energy Information Administration has awarded 809 federal contracts totaling $8.85 billion in combined potential value since 1982, with $8.2 billion obligated to date. Recent contract activity has declined: 56 awards in 2022, 72 in 2023, 67 in 2024, 22 in 2025, and 27 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on September 17, 2026. Across its contract portfolio, the agency works with 309 distinct prime contractors. Contract competition is highly fragmented by award count, with the top five primes holding 19 percent of recent awards over the last five years; however, by potential value, the top five are far less concentrated, holding only 1 percent of combined potential value in recent activity. This disparity reflects a portfolio dominated by lower-dollar routine awards. Edgewater Federal Solutions, Inc. leads by potential value with four awards totaling $61.8 million; Accenture Federal Services LLC follows with five awards valued at $30.9 million. Bloomberg Finance LP has the most awards among recent primes with 14 over the last five years, though its combined potential value is only $2.3 million. The vast majority of awards carry no set-aside designation: 673 awards (83 percent) are unrestricted; small-business set-asides account for 9 percent of awards, with the remainder split among 8(a) sole source (2 percent), HUBZone (1 percent), and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (1 percent).

Grant activity is minimal and dormant. The Energy Information Administration has issued 28 grants totaling $4.6 million in federal obligations since its first grant in 2016, but no new grants have closed since July 1, 2023. The agency works with 27 distinct grant recipients, of which only two appear in the last five years: The Leland Stanford Junior University (one award, $600 thousand federal dollars) and University of Notre Dame Du Lac (one award, $100 thousand federal dollars). Grants are predominantly Cooperative Agreements (89 percent of awards), with a smaller share of Project Grants (7 percent) and one Block Grant.

The Energy Information Administration researches, collects and disseminates information on a vast array of energy topics.
