Office of Energy Research

The Department of Energy Office of Energy Research is a civilian sub-agency within the Department of Energy tasked with funding and managing research programs across the agency's core scientific missions. The Office administers contract awards for research support, equipment acquisition, and specialized technical services aligned with the department's energy research portfolio.

The Office's contract activity dates to 1979, with a cumulative total of 24 federal contract awards and $150 thousand in combined dollars obligated across the portfolio history. Award volume peaked in 1980 with 21 awards, followed by single awards in 1982 and 1983. The most recent recorded award dates to June 1983. No awards appear in the portfolio since that date. All 24 awards across the portfolio were issued without set-aside designation—100 percent were competed or awarded on an unrestricted basis. Twelve distinct prime contractors have been awarded across the portfolio lifetime, indicating a fragmented competitive base with no single dominant contractor.

No recent contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded against the Office or its descendant offices.
