Energy Information Administration

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) serves as the statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy. EIA collects, analyzes, and disseminates independent and impartial energy information to promote sound policymaking, efficient markets, and public understanding of energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment. The agency develops and maintains comprehensive data sets on energy production, consumption, distribution, prices, technology, and related international, economic, and financial markets. EIA's data and analyses are widely used by government agencies, the private sector, and the general public for decision-making and planning purposes.

The EIA's contract awards reveal significant investment in specialized data services and market intelligence solutions. In 2024-2025, the agency awarded several high-value contracts to information service providers, including $491,250 to S&P Global Platts for petroleum industry research, $534,676 to Executive Information Systems for SAS software maintenance, $425,255 to Oil Price Information Service for news and data services, and $298,085 to IHS Global for modeling and data analysis support. The EIA also committed $1,176,861 to R.L. Polk & Co. for National Vehicle Population Profile data, $300,871 to Dow Jones for access to the McCloskey suite of products, and $199,975 to ZEN Innovations for a Global Trade Tracker subscription. These investments demonstrate the agency's continuing need for comprehensive, reliable data to support its energy analysis and forecasting functions.

The EIA also made substantial investments in information technology and cloud services. The agency issued Blanket Purchase Agreement calls worth $477,164 and $477,000 to V3Gate for Amazon Web Services cloud services, $221,949 to Affigent for Oracle Cloud services, and $2,415,798 to Minburn Technology Group for Microsoft enterprise licenses. Additionally, EIA awarded a $4,465,577 contract to Code Plus for IT service desk support and various smaller contracts for specialized software and technology services. The agency's largest single award was a $15,048,441 contract to Waste Control Specialists for the interim storage of Transuranic and Greater-Than-Class C waste, representing a significant investment in specialized waste management services.
