About this opportunity
The Department of Energy is seeking technical support services for its Appliance Standards Program through Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), focusing on energy conservation standards analysis and test procedure development for space-heating, water-heating, and electronics equipment. The contractor will conduct advanced engineering and economic analyses, develop scientific methodologies for energy use and life-cycle cost assessments, review and develop industry test procedures, and participate in public meetings to support DOE's mission of promulgating energy efficiency standards that are technologically feasible and economically justified. Key deliverables include Life Cycle Cost and National Impact Analysis models, Technical Support Documents, Federal Register Notices, public meeting presentations, and comprehensive research documentation. The solicitation was posted on October 8, 2025, with proposals due by October 30, 2025, providing a tight 22-day response window for interested contractors.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation, making it open to full and open competition across all business categories. The contract work will be performed in Berkeley, Missouri, with tasks structured through flexible monthly assignments determined by the LBNL Technical Lead. The Statement of Work encompasses four primary task areas including Energy Conservation Standards Analysis, Test Procedure Development, Program Research Direction Support, and Miscellaneous Research, with the contractor expected to provide strategic advice regarding program research and assist on additional research tasks as needed. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, indicating the specialized technical expertise required for successful performance. While specific contract values and performance timelines are not disclosed in the solicitation notice, the work involves supporting multiple rulemaking stages for various equipment types throughout the contract performance period.
Notice text
The Energy Efficiency Studies (EES) Department offers a broad range of expertise primarily in support of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Appliance & Equipment Standards Program and its mission to promulgate standards (through a rulemaking process) that achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that is both technologically feasible and economically justified. EES conducts research and develops a unique and powerful set of core capabilities, including: energy policy analysis, cost-benefits assessment, including uncertainty and variability analysis, product life-cycle cost analysis, energy modeling and forecasting, environmental impacts assessment. EES analysis cover a range of products, including residential appliance, commercial and industrial equipment, and lighting system. The selected offeror will be responsible for two primary projects: Energy conservation standards analysis and text procedure development. Within each project, the tasks apply to selected space-heating, water-heating, and electronics equipment for which DOE funds Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) during the performance period of the Subcontract. In addition, the offeror will provide strategic advice regarding research within the program and assist on additional research tasks as needed.
