This purchase order will be awarded for DOE Building Technologies Office?s (BTO) Residential Building Integration (RBI) Program Mission Support.

RBI cannot efficiently achieve its technology deployment and market transformation goals without effective strategies for engaging with target stakeholders and well-coordinated program operations. Strategic stakeholder engagement through Building America helps RBI develop and promote innovative technologies and practices, identify and overcome critical market and institutional barriers, influence market actions by ?early adopters?, leverage market mavens and connectors to rapidly disseminate vital technical information to industry decision makers, and collect and assess key market data through all on-going RBI sub-program activities. Coordinated program operations ensure Building America research planning, stakeholder engagement, RBI deployment initiatives, and strategic and management communications are conducted efficiently and effectively, without unnecessary duplication of effort or inconsistent messaging.

Tasks for this requirement include planning, program coordination and consulting for the development of the FY15 Building America Operations Plan and the RBI, Building American and Better Buildings Residential Program Management Strategy Overviews.

The estimate of work under this purchase order is for six months and a six month option period, with a program magnitude of approximately $75,000.
