DOE Energy Analysis and Forecasting

The Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Analysis and Forecasting Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract supports comprehensive energy research, modeling, and data analysis services for the Energy Information Administration (EIA). The contract primarily focuses on developing and maintaining complex energy modeling systems, conducting detailed energy consumption surveys, and providing technical support for various energy-related research initiatives. Task orders under this vehicle encompass a wide range of energy-related analytical services, including national energy modeling, technology data analysis, survey processing, and comprehensive reporting on energy markets, consumption, and forecasting.

Typical task orders under this IDIQ have values ranging from approximately $25,000 to nearly $12 million, with most falling between $100,000 and $3 million and durations spanning several months to multiple years. Recurring themes include National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) enhancements, energy consumption surveys such as the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) and Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS), and support for various EIA program offices. Contractors frequently include research organizations and professional services firms like NORC at the University of Chicago and Leidos, Inc. Most task orders are awarded on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis and are not set aside for small businesses, though some task orders do utilize small business set-asides. Performance locations are predominantly in Washington, D.C., with work supporting the EIA's analytical and data collection efforts.
