Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001947
The Department of Energy (DOE), through its Golden Field Office, issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Field of Potential Performers for Weatherization Assistance Program" (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001947; CFDA 81.042). This is a market-research style request rather than a traditional grant solicitation, meaning DOE is primarily collecting information from organizations to understand who is capable of supporting a specific set of activities within the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) network. The focus is on "leveraged partnerships" in weatherization, which generally refers to coordinating and expanding relationships and co-funding arrangements with nonfederal partners to supplement WAP resources and increase impact.
At its core, the RFI is looking for organizations that can help maintain and grow WAP leveraged partnerships by doing practical program-support work across the national WAP ecosystem. The requested support includes tracking partnership initiatives and leveraged funding efforts; developing, maintaining, and sharing tools, guidance, and other resources; delivering training; and providing targeted technical assistance to WAP subgrantees and their associations. Another major element is facilitating partnerships with nonfederal funders, implying work that bridges WAP implementers with utilities, state and local programs, philanthropy, financial institutions, or other private and nonprofit funding sources that can align with weatherization goals.
DOE is using the RFI to gather details about respondents existing capabilities, past performance, and networks of relationships that would make them effective at this partnership-building and support role. In practice, a strong respondent would be able to demonstrate experience managing multi-stakeholder initiatives, producing and disseminating program resources, organizing trainings and peer-learning, and providing hands-on assistance to local implementing agencies or statewide entities. Just as important, DOE is explicitly interested in an organization existing connections to the WAP community and to nonfederal funding partners, since the success of leveraged partnerships often depends on trust, established channels, and proven coordination.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), with the caveat that any additional eligibility clarifications would be in the full RFI text on EERE Exchange. The opportunity category is discretionary and the funding instrument type is listed as "Other," which is consistent with an RFI that may later inform a procurement, cooperative agreement, or other type of award mechanism. The source data also lists an expected number of awards (1) and an award ceiling (2), which may reflect planning assumptions or placeholders and should be interpreted in context by reviewing the full posting.
Responses were required to be submitted electronically by 5:00 pm Eastern Time on July 12, 2018, to WAPTA@doe.gov. Anyone interested in the exact response format, the specific questions DOE asked, page limits, and any required content (such as capability statements, examples of relevant partnership outcomes, staffing approaches, or geographic coverage) would need to consult the complete RFI text posted at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/ under the related RFI reference (the description points to DE-FOA-0001946 for full instructions).Apply for DE FOA 0001947
