Headquarters

Department of Energy Headquarters, a civilian independent agency, administers federal energy policy, scientific research, and nuclear security programs, and acquires a broad range of supplies, services, and IT systems to support these missions. The agency contracts through its headquarters procurement office, which processes awards on behalf of subordinate program and operational offices including the Office of Energy Dominance Financing, Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security, and Office of Inspector General.

The Department of Energy Headquarters contract portfolio comprises 6,433 total federal awards since 1985, with $7.85 billion in combined potential value and $5.15 billion obligated to date. Recent activity has declined sharply: the agency issued 25 awards in 2018, 26 in 2019, 18 in 2020, 17 in 2021, and 1 award in 2022, with no recorded awards since the most recently recorded award date of January 11, 2022. This concentration of recent activity at the portfolio's tail suggests the agency's transactional volume may be concentrated in task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders not fully captured in the headline awards data. Among the four primes recorded in the last five years, each holds a single award, making the competitive structure highly fragmented; the named vendors are Executive Information Systems, L.L.C., American Wordata, Inc., Architechture Solutions LLC, and The Fields Group, LLC, with combined recent potential value under $300 thousand.

The set-aside mix is heavily weighted toward unrestricted competition: 81 percent of all awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides represent 9 percent of awards (595 total Small Business designations), and 8(a) sole-source awards comprise another 9 percent. The remaining set-aside categories—Competitive 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, Woman-Owned Small Business, and combinations thereof—together account for less than 1 percent of awards.

Recent contract opportunities include market-research requests and pre-solicitations. A Request for Information for Automated Teller Machine Services was posted October 5, 2026, with a due date of October 19, 2026, and a parallel Sources Sought for Legacy Management Support Services Operations and Maintenance was posted August 21, 2026. The Davis-Bacon Act Compliance Monitoring Services solicitation (due September 10, 2026) supports Energy Dominance Financing compliance work. A notice of intent to sole-source Bloomberg FINANCE LP Licenses (due September 4, 2026) and multiple notices for weapon system procurement from Staccato 2011 on behalf of the Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security represent ongoing law-enforcement and protective-equipment acquisitions. No recent contract awards are recorded since 2022.
