Uniform Guidance – 2 CFR 200 Updates

In an effort to standardize terminology across the government, Clean Energy Infrastructure is joining other federal agencies in using the term Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) rather than Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs). You will see both terms in use while we work to update our websites and resources.

Awards issued under these Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFO, previously Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA)) will adopt the 2024 Revisions to 2 CFR 200. Applicants may review a summary of changes at CFO.gov | Uniform Guidance: Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Flexibilities provided by the 2024 Revisions are not available on existing Federal awards issued prior to October 1, 2024.

DE-FOA-0003348: Puerto Rico Energy Resilience Fund: Resilient Communities Program

Modification 000001: The purpose of this modification is to further define the Go/No-Go review process prior to construction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In December 2022, President Biden signed the FY 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act into law, which included $1B to drive key investments in renewable and resilient energy infrastructure in Puerto Rico. On February 21, 2023, DOE’s Grid Deployment Office (GDO) established the Puerto Rico Energy Resilience Fund (PR-ERF) to administer the $1B through programs focused on both residential and community-based energy resilience investments, including but not limited to, solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage deployments, as well as community partnerships and other activities to grow Puerto Rico’s clean energy economy.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) under the PR-ERF has three Strategic Goals: (1) Mitigate against the disproportionate impacts associated with severe and prolonged power outages affecting low- and moderate-income residents of public or privately owned subsidized multi-family properties through energy resilience investments. (2) Enable quality, equitable health care services for the most vulnerable populations and disadvantaged communities, who include the medically underserved in Puerto Rico, by ensuring energy reliability and resiliency. (3) Support the growth of the clean energy workforce in Puerto Rico.

To accomplish these goals, this FOA has two (2) Topic Areas:

Topic Area 1: Solar PV and Battery Storage Installations for Common Areas within Public or Privately Owned Subsidized Multi-Family Properties

Topic Area 2: Solar PV and Battery Storage Installations for Community Healthcare Facilities

Disclaimer: In case of conflicting or unclear information provided on a translated document, the English version of the document will be used as the standard for provided information and requirements under this FOA.

En diciembre de 2022, el presidente Biden promulgó la Ley de Asignaciones Consolidadas del año fiscal 2023 (FY 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act), que incluía $1,000 millones para impulsar inversiones fundamentales en infraestructura de energía renovable y resiliente en Puerto Rico. El 21 de febrero del 2023, la Oficina de Desarrollo del Sistema Eléctrico (GDO, por sus siglas en inglés) del DOE estableció el Fondo de Resiliencia Energética de Puerto Rico (PR-ERF) para administrar los $1,000 millones a través de programas enfocados en inversiones de resiliencia energética tanto residenciales como comunitarias, que incluyen, entre otros, los sistemas de energía solar fotovoltaica (PV) y las instalaciones para el almacenamiento en baterías, así como las alianzas comunitarias y otras actividades para hacer crecer la economía de energía limpia de Puerto Rico.

Este FOA bajo el PR-ERF tiene tres metas estratégicas: (1) Mitigar los efectos desproporcionados asociados con los cortes de energía graves y prolongados que afectan a los habitantes de ingresos bajos y moderados de propiedad de vivienda pública o multifamiliar subsidiada privada mediante inversiones en resiliencia energética. (2) Permitir servicios de salud equitativos y de calidad para las poblaciones más vulnerables y las comunidades marginadas, que incluyen a las personas médicamente desatendidas en Puerto Rico, para garantizar confiabilidad y resiliencia energética. (3) Apoyar el crecimiento de la fuerza laboral de energía limpia en Puerto Rico.

Para lograr estos objetivos, este FOA tiene dos (2) Áreas Temáticas:

Área Temática 1: Instalaciones solares fotovoltaicas y de almacenamiento en baterías para las zonas comunes dentro de propiedades de vivienda pública o multifamiliares subsidiadas privadas

Área Temática 2: Instalaciones solares fotovoltaicas y de almacenamiento en baterías para las facilidades de salud comunitarias

Descargo de responsabilidad: En caso de que la información provista en un documento traducido sea contradictoria o ambigua, se utilizará la versión en inglés del documento como estándar para la información y los requisitos de este FOA.

The Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) is issuing this Administrative and Legal Requirements Document (ALRD). Awards made under this ALRD will be funded, in whole or in part, with funds appropriated by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

IRA Section 50143 appropriated $2 billion to provide grants for domestic production of efficient hybrid, plug-in electric hybrid, plug-in electric drive, and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, in accordance with Section 712 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. That section established the domestic manufacturing conversion grant program to provide grants and loan guarantees to clean vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, including component manufacturers. Section 712 states that “priority shall be given to the refurbishment and retooling of manufacturing facilities that have recently ceased operation or will cease operation in the near future.”

Under this ALRD, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is partnering with states to make funds available to eligible small and medium manufacturers to accelerate the growth of domestic production capabilities for electric vehicles and components.

BIL is a once-in-a-generation investment in modernizing and upgrading American infrastructure to enhance U.S. competitiveness, drive the creation of good-paying jobs with a free and fair chance to join a union, tackle the climate crisis, and ensure strong access to economic, environmental, and other benefits for disadvantaged communities. BIL appropriates more than $62 billion to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to invest in American manufacturing and workers; expand access to energy efficiency and clean energy; deliver reliable, clean, and affordable power to more Americans; and demonstrate and deploy the technologies of tomorrow through clean energy demonstrations.

DOE’s BIL investments will support efforts to build a clean and equitable energy economy that achieves a zero-carbon electricity system by 2035, and to put the United States on a path to achieve net-zero emissions economy-wide by no later than 2050 to benefit all Americans.

The activities to be funded under this FOA support BIL sections 40534 and 40207(f)(3) and the broader government-wide approach to reinvigorating and reinvesting in the American industrial base; catalyzing American leadership and global competitiveness in the clean energy economy, investing in the American manufacturing workforce; and maximizing the benefits of the clean energy transition as the nation works to curb the climate crisis, empower workers, and advance environmental justice. These BIL sections are focused on:

  • Appropriations of $50 million over Fiscal Years (FYs) 2022 through 2026 to establish the State Manufacturing Leadership Program (SMLP), which supports state entities to provide assistance to small- and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) to:
    • facilitate access to high-performance computing (HPC) resources; and

The Office of State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP) is issuing this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Awards made under this FOA will be funded, in whole or in part, with funds appropriated by Section 50131 of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022, Assistance for Latest and Zero Building Energy Code Adoption.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) provides up to $1 billion for States and units of local government with the authority to adopt building energy codes to adopt and implement the latest building energy codes, zero energy building codes, or equivalent codes or standards. An energy code is one of several types of building codes that help contribute to the overall health, safety, efficiency, and long-term resilience of buildings. Energy codes can be adopted directly as a standalone code, such as the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), which is commonly adopted by States and local governments. Moreover, energy codes are also fundamental components of certain more broadly adopted building codes, including the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC), which are referenced in the United States as “parental” codes. Energy codes are often described as a subset of these broader building codes, representing distinct chapters of the IBC and IRC alongside other commonly recognized provisions, such as those pertaining to structural, plumbing, or electrical requirements, and other basic aspects of building design and construction. Adoption and implementation of such codes supports the decarbonization of new and existing residential and commercial buildings.

This opportunity assists eligible entities in further decarbonizing their buildings through the adoption of the latest national model building energy codes, zero energy codes, other codes that deliver equivalent or greater energy savings, including innovative approaches to decarbonize existing buildings through certain measurable and enforceable requirements. The IRA is unprecedented in its opportunity to support sustainable change at the State and local level with respect to advancing the energy efficiency of new, renovated, and existing buildings. DOE is particularly interested in supporting States and local governments in implementing local capacity building, multi-year investments in workforce and education, and long-term improvements in building energy codes through multi-cycle adoption and building performance standards (BPS).

Building energy codes establish minimum levels of energy efficiency for new and existing residential and commercial buildings. Model energy codes, such as the 2021 IECC and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019, are developed and updated through national consensus processes. States and local governments ultimately implement building energy codes, which are handled through various adoption, compliance, and enforcement processes and can vary widely across the United States. Many States have consistently received funding through their State Energy Plan to support the adoption of traditional building energy codes. In addition to this competitive funding opportunity announcement a formal funding announcement was published on September 19, 2023 for States pursuing pre-approved code packages.

Please see the full FOA document in the Documents section below.

Questions regarding the FOA must be submitted to IRACodes@hq.doe.gov.

The Energy Auditor Training (EAT) Program will provide Grant funding to States for the purpose of training individuals to conduct energy audits, or surveys, of commercial and residential buildings.

This program was established by Section 40503 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), more commonly known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The goals of the program are to offer auditor training certifications that include informed curriculum and program design that aligns with current and future standards; inform or empower States with current, standardized framing of the education and training requirements for energy auditors; enlarge the pipeline of diverse talent by closing gaps in job access; address workforce inclusion deficiencies and improve disparities with underrepresented groups; connect auditor trainees to career opportunities that promote job quality and economic mobility; and inspire sustainability through intentional practices and partnerships that support infrastructure development and the long-term value of a clean energy workforce.

ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS: In accordance with the BIL Section 40503, funding is only available to States, the District of Columbia, and United States territories that have a demonstrated need for assistance for training energy auditors. These eligible entities are referred to throughout this FOA as “States”. No other entity types, including Local Government and Tribes, may be considered for this funding. In accordance with 2 CFR Section 910.126 and DOE Program Rule 10 CFR Part 420, eligibility for these awards is restricted to State Energy Offices.

FUNDING OVERVIEW: The BIL appropriated $40 million in funding to be issued through a competitive Grant program. DOE may issue one, multiple, or no awards. Individual awards may vary between $200,000 and a maximum of $2,000,000. DOE anticipates making approximately twenty (20) to thirty (30) awards under this FOA. In accordance with the BIL Section 40503(d)(1) the amount of a Grant awarded to an eligible State shall be determined by the Secretary, taking into account the population of the eligible State. DOE reserves the right to determine the final award amount of selected eligible States.

COST MATCHING: Cost match is not required for these awards. DOE encourages states to consider how they could leverage philanthropic and private sector funding to advance their goals and amplify the impact of the BIL funding.

DE-RD2-0003056 Round 2 record is here: https://infrastructure-exchange.energy.gov/Default.aspx#FoaIde172a922-d692-4fba-841e-c2040fd07298

The Office of State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP) is issuing this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Awards made under this FOA will be funded, in whole or in part, with funds appropriated by Section 50131 of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022, Assistance for Latest and Zero Building Energy Code Adoption.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) provides up to $1 billion for States and units of local government with the authority to adopt building energy codes to adopt and implement the latest building energy codes, zero energy building codes, or equivalent codes or standards. An energy code is one of several types of building codes that help contribute to the overall health, safety, efficiency, and long-term resilience of buildings. Energy codes can be adopted directly as a standalone code, such as the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), which is commonly adopted by States and local governments. Moreover, energy codes are also fundamental components of certain more broadly adopted building codes, including the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC), which are referenced in the United States as “parental” codes. Energy codes are often described as a subset of these broader building codes, representing distinct chapters of the IBC and IRC alongside other commonly recognized provisions, such as those pertaining to structural, plumbing, or electrical requirements, and other basic aspects of building design and construction. Adoption and implementation of such codes supports the decarbonization of new and existing residential and commercial buildings.

This opportunity assists eligible entities in further decarbonizing their buildings through the adoption of the latest national model building energy codes, zero energy codes, other codes that deliver equivalent or greater energy savings, including innovative approaches to decarbonize existing buildings through certain measurable and enforceable requirements. The IRA is unprecedented in its opportunity to support sustainable change at the State and local level with respect to advancing the energy efficiency of new, renovated, and existing buildings. DOE is particularly interested in supporting States and local governments in implementing local capacity building, multi-year investments in workforce and education, and long-term improvements in building energy codes through multi-cycle adoption and building performance standards (BPS).

Building energy codes establish minimum levels of energy efficiency for new and existing residential and commercial buildings. Model energy codes, such as the 2021 IECC and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019, are developed and updated through national consensus processes. States and local governments ultimately implement building energy codes, which are handled through various adoption, compliance, and enforcement processes and can vary widely across the United States. Many States have consistently received funding through their State Energy Plan to support the adoption of traditional building energy codes. In addition to this competitive funding opportunity announcement a formal funding announcement was published on September 19, 2023 for States pursuing pre-approved code packages.

Please see the full FOA document in the Documents section below.

Questions regarding the FOA must be submitted to IRACodes@hq.doe.gov.

DE-FO1-0003126: Wholesale Electricity Market Studies and Engagements

Amendment 000001 - The purpose of this amendment is to extend the Concept Paper submission deadline for DE-FO1-0003126 Grid Development Office (GDO) Wholesale Electricity Market Studies and Engagements Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) from November 3, 2023 to November 17, 2023. The Full Application submission deadline for DE-FO3-0003126 Grid Development Office (GDO) Wholesale Electricity Market Studies and Engagements Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is being updated from December 21, 2024 to December 20, 2024.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is issuing, on behalf of the Grid Deployment Office (GDO), this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Awards made under this FOA will be funded, in whole or in part, with funds authorized under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328).

Creating more efficient and flexible wholesale markets that will support a more resilient and reliable grid will be critical as new load and generation come online. Functioning wholesale markets provide a platform for energy trading and the integration of electric resources into the grid. Efficient, fair, and transparent market constructs are thus foundational to transitioning to a clean, reliable, equitable electric grid.

This FOA will assist applicants—States, ISOs/RTOs, and domestic entities that have partnered with States and/or ISOs/RTOs — that have formed partnerships with or otherwise include States, ISOs/RTOs to perform analytical studies on critical market issues or convene stakeholders to address issues facing developing or existing wholesale markets. GDO suggests five (5) broad priorities for proposed projects: 1) seams between markets, 2) regional resource adequacy, 3) market design and price formation, 4) regional footprint studies, and 5) integrated regional planning approaches.

Please see the full FOA document in the Documents section below.

Questions regarding the FOA must be submitted to GDO_FOA3126@hq.doe.gov.

DE-FOA-0003101: Inflation Reduction Act - Transmission Siting and Economic Development Program

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is issuing, on behalf of the Grid Deployment Office (GDO), this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Awards made under this FOA will be funded, in whole or in part, with funds appropriated by Section 50152 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) – Grants to Facilitate the Siting of Interstate Electricity Transmission Lines.

The IRA makes the single largest investment in energy and climate in American history, putting the United States on a pathway to achieving the Administration’s clean energy and climate goals, including a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035, while securing America’s position as a world leader in domestic clean energy manufacturing, creating quality jobs, investing in communities, and advancing environmental justice.

Under Section 50152(a), the IRA appropriated $760 million to make grants to siting authorities to carry out eligible activities that will facilitate the siting and permitting of “covered transmission projects” or to siting authorities and other governmental entities for economic development activities in communities that may be affected by the construction and operation of a “covered transmission project.” A “covered transmission project” is defined in Section 50152(e)(1) as a “high voltage interstate or offshore electricity transmission line” for which an entity has applied for, or informed a siting authority of an intent to apply for, regulatory approval, and that is proposed to be constructed and to operate:

These investments, particularly when combined with programs authorized and funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (otherwise known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law), will support the timely construction of new or upgraded electric transmission facilities and facilitate the siting of transmission facilities, while doing so in a manner consistent with affected community priorities, including considerations of environmental and energy justice, equity, job quality, and Tribal cultural resources.

DE-FOA-0003096: Puerto Rico - Energy Resilience Fund

In December 2022, Congress appropriated $1 billion in the FY 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act for activities to improve the resilience of the Puerto Rican electric grid, including renewable energy and storage solutions for vulnerable households and communities. Per the Act, these activities will include resilience investments for low-and-moderate income households and households with individuals with disabilities.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Grid Deployment Office (GDO) established the Puerto Rico Energy Resilience Fund (PR-ERF) to administer the $1 billion through a program focused on both residential and community-based energy resilience investments, including but not limited to solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage deployments, as well as community partnerships and other activities to grow Puerto Rico’s clean energy economy. This first Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) under the PR-ERF has three Strategic Goals:

(1) Enhance energy resilience for vulnerable households through the rapid installation of rooftop solar PV and battery storage systems. Through this first funding opportunity, DOE aims to incentivize the installation of roughly 30,000-40,000 residential systems. (2) Reduce energy burden (i.e., the percentage of gross household income spent on energy costs) for program beneficiaries. (3) Support the growth of the clean energy workforce in Puerto Rico, as well as support education and protection for beneficiaries.

To accomplish these goals, this FOA has three (3) Topic Areas. The three Topic Areas are as follows:

Topic Area 1: Third-Party Residential Rooftop Solar PV and Battery Storage Deployment

Topic Area 2: Community-Sponsored Residential Rooftop Solar PV and Battery Storage Deployment

Topic Area 3: Beneficiary Education, Training, and Consumer Protection

EFG will provide support for at least 50 multijurisdictional teams (ideally 3-4 or more state, local, and tribal government partners). Teams will further partner with community benefit organizations to turn innovative (novel or early action) ideas into solutions that address barriers to clean energy deployment. EFG solutions will provide measurable benefits to communities and support Justice 40, which directs 40% of the overall benefits of certain federal investments to flow to disadvantaged communities.

EFG Ideas will be led by communities and foster integrated clean energy solutions in and across the power, transportation, and building sectors. A successful project will have equitable program innovation, multi-jurisdictional partnerships, and scalable outcomes that can leverage DOE and other resources to speed and scale deployment of innovative clean energy strategies nationwide.

This is a Notice of Intent (NOI) only. DOE may issue a FOA as described herein, may issue a FOAthat is significantly different than the FOA described herein, or DOE may not issue a FOA at all.

DE-FOA-0002987: DOE Heat Pump Defense Production Act Program

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) of 2021 (Pub. L. 117-58), and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 (Pub. L. 117-169) included several incentives that are expected to increase demand of electric heat pumps in retrofit and new markets but may not ensure domestic capacity of electric heat pumps at the speed and scale required to meet the anticipated demand​. In June 2022, President Biden issued five determinations under the Defense Production Act (DPA) of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 4501 et seq.), including a presidential determination to allow DOE to use its delegated DPA authorities to expand the domestic production capability for electric heat pumps.

Section 30001 of the IRA appropriated $500 million to carry out the DPA, of which $250 million was subsequently allocated to the Department of Energy to support the growth of manufacturing needed to meet the anticipated growing demand for electric heat pumps. This funding could help scale up U.S. heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and water heating (WH) manufacturing; accelerate installation of high-efficiency electric heat pumps in homes, qualified buildings; and industrial settings, and complement investment coming through other BIL and IRA provisions described earlier.

Amendment 000003 was issued to update the Community Benefits Plan page limitation. Please see the Funding Opportunity Announcement for the full text of the amendment.

For the full text of the amendment, please see the "Full Funding Opportunity Announcement" document in the Announcement Documents section below.

Attention: The Clean Energy Infrastructure Exchange system is currently designed to enforce hard deadlines for Full Application submissions. The APPLY and SUBMIT buttons automatically disable at the defined submission deadlines. The intention of this design is to consistently enforce a standard deadline for all applicants. Applicants that experience issues with submissions PRIOR to the FOA Deadline: In the event that an Applicant experiences technical difficulties with a submission, the Applicant should contact the Clean Energy Infrastructure Exchange helpdesk for assistance (InfrastructureExchangeSupport@hq.doe.gov).

DE-FOA-0003055: Notice of Intent to Issue IRA Section 50131 Funding Opportunity Announcement No. DE-FOA-0003056 Technical Assistance for the Adoption of the Latest and Zero Building Energy Codes or Standards

This Notice of Intent (NOI) is to inform state and local governments that the Office of State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP) intends to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled “Technical Assistance for the Adoption of the Latest and Zero Building Energy Codes or Standards Funding Opportunity Announcement.” SCEP anticipates funding state and local efforts to update building energy codes, or equivalent standards, and to develop effective code workforce, training, compliance and enforcement programs. This is solely a notice of intent and not a FOA. SCEP is not accepting applications at this time.

The NOI describes a preliminary plan that will evolve during the FOA development process. The state cost share requirement that applies to traditional State Energy Program funding will not apply to this IRA funding. To ensure adopted codes are successfully implemented, Section 50131 will also specify that each jurisdiction receiving grant funds must implement a plan to achieve full compliance in new and renovated residential and commercial buildings. This compliance plan must include active training and enforcement programs and measurement of the rate of compliance each year.

The purpose of this NOI is to alert stakeholders prior to DOE/SCEP potentially issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). This NOI is not a FOA; therefore, DOE/SCEP is not accepting applications at this time.

This Request for Information (RFI) is soliciting feedback from state and local governments, building officials, contractors, designers, builders, other industry representatives, community organizations, academia, research laboratories, and other stakeholders on issues related to key provisions in Section 50131 of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The DOE Office of State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP) is interested in information on supporting the development, adoption, and implementation of the latest model building energy codes and zero building energy codes for residential and commercial, new and existing buildings (or equivalent codes, standards, or policies) throughout the U.S. in accordance with Section 50131 of the IRA.The IRA provides direction on certain high-level eligibility criteria and overall goals but does not detail how to develop and effectively implement an IRA codes program that will empower States and local jurisdictions to update their building energy codes and standards for new and existing buildings. Therefore, to further support program development, this RFI specifically seeks input on 1) selection criteria; 2) other funding sources, 3) compliance plans; and 4) existing-building opportunities. The information collected from this RFI will be used by DOE for planning purposes to develop a potential Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). The information collected will not be published. This is solely a Request for Information and not a FOA. SCEP is not accepting applications at this time.

A Notice of Intent (NOI) is being issued together with this RFI. Additional information regarding a potential FOA supporting Technical Assistance for the Adoption of the Latest and Zero Building Energy Codes or Standards is available in that NOI (DE-FOA-0003055). The full content of the NOI announcement can be found on the Clean Energy Infrastructure Exchange website at https://infrastructure-exchange.energy.gov.

The purpose of this RFI is to gather feedback from stakeholders prior to DOE potentially issuing a FOA. This RFI is not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. All responses to this RFI must be provided as Microsoft Word attachments and submitted electronically to iracodes@hq.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm ET on April 26, 2023. A public workshop to gather additional input on this potential FOA will be held on April 18, 2023 at 2:00pm ET. To register for the public workshop, please visit: https://pnnl.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_yKIg2RtNRh6OQC53b1ba0A.

DE-FOA-0002969: Bipartisan Infrastructure Law State Manufacturing Leadership Program (Section 40534)

The Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) is issuing this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Awards made under this FOA will be funded, in whole or in part, with funds appropriated by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, more commonly known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).

The rapid development, deployment, and adoption of smart manufacturing technologies is a high priority for increasing economic competitiveness, efficiency, and productivity – and reducing greenhouse gas emissions – in manufacturing. This FOA will support States in accelerating the deployment of smart manufacturing and high-performance computing technologies across the small- and medium-sized manufacturing firm (SMM) base.

The activities to be funded under this FOA support BIL section 40534 and the broader government-wide approach to reinvigorating and reinvesting in the American industrial base; catalyzing American leadership and global competitiveness in the clean energy economy; and investing in the American manufacturing workforce.

DOE anticipates making awards to States in the form of cooperative agreements. Awardees must complete their projects not later than three years after the date of receipt of federal funds. The period of performance will be comprised of one or more budget periods. Project continuation will be contingent upon several elements, including satisfactory performance and DOE’s Go/No-Go decision.

DOE expects to make a total of approximately $46 million of federal funding available for new awards under this FOA, subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Individual awards may vary between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. DOE anticipates making approximately 20-25 awards under this FOA. DOE may issue one, multiple, or no awards.


Amendment 000001 - The purpose of Amendment 000001 is to add a requirement for a Head of Government Letter and to add a merit review procedure reference.

For further information, please see the "Full Funding Opportunity Announcement" document in the Announcement Documents section below.


Cost Match Requirement: Consistent with Section III.B, or all applications, the cost match must be at least 30% of the total Federal Funds allocated.

Per 2 CFR § 200.29, there are two approaches to calculating the portion of project costs not paid by Federal funds, “Cost Sharing” or “Matching”.

Since “Cost Sharing” is usually required with “Matching” required far less frequently, DOE FOA tools and processes implement “Cost Sharing” versus “Matching” calculation methodologies.

Specifically, the Clean Energy Infrastructure Exchange System used for collecting applications to this FOA and the Budget Justification Workbook(s) required with application submissions implement “Cost Sharing”, not “Matching”.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Section 40534 (c) (3) and this FOA require “Matching”, specifically a minimum 30% match.

Given the anomalies noted above, DOE is providing a “Cost Sharing” equivalency to “Matching” for use in the Budget Justification Workbook(s) to be submitted with the application. The applicant will need to submit a minimum requirement of 23.08% cost share in the Exchange system and the Budget Justification Workbook.


Attention: The Clean Energy Infrastructure Exchange system is currently designed to enforce hard deadlines for Full Application submissions. The APPLY and SUBMIT buttons automatically disable at the defined submission deadlines. The intention of this design is to consistently enforce a standard deadline for all applicants. Applicants that experience issues with submissions PRIOR to the FOA Deadline: In the event that an Applicant experiences technical difficulties with a submission, the Applicant should contact the Clean Energy Infrastructure Exchange helpdesk for assistance (InfrastructureExchangeSupport@hq.doe.gov).


Teaming Partner List: DOE is compiling a “Teaming Partner List” to facilitate the formation of new project teams for this FOA. The Teaming Partner List allows organizations who may wish to participate on an application to express their interest to other applicants and to explore potential partnerships. The Teaming Partner List will be regularly updated to reflect new teaming partners who provide their organization’s information. Updates to the Teaming Partner List will be provided in the document below named Published Teaming Partner List.


SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Any organization that would like to be included on this list should complete the Teaming List spreadsheet (named Teaming Partner List Submission Template) in the documents below and email the completed spreadsheet to FOA2969@netl.doe.gov with the subject line “Teaming Partner Information.”


DISCLAIMER: By submitting a request to be included on the Teaming Partner List, the requesting organization consents to the publication of the above-referenced information. By facilitating the Teaming Partner List, DOE is not endorsing, sponsoring, or otherwise evaluating the qualifications of the individuals and organizations that are self-identifying themselves for placement on this Teaming Partner List. DOE will not pay for the provision of any information, nor will it compensate any applicants or requesting organizations for the development of such information.
