Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002341
This notice is a Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) Request for Information (RFI) aimed at identifying an organization that might partner with NETL in pursuing a separate funding opportunity: FOA No. DE-FOA-0002289, titled "Rapid Encapsulation Of Pipelines Avoiding Intensive Replacement (REPAIR)." In practical terms, the government is not directly offering grant money through this RFI itself. Instead, NETL is signaling that it intends to compete under the REPAIR FOA and wants to find a capable teaming partner in advance, assuming NETL is selected for an award under that FOA. The goal of the RFI is to collect information from interested parties so NETL can evaluate potential collaborators and form a strong project team for the anticipated cooperative agreement effort.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0002341 and falls into the discretionary funding category, with the intended award mechanism described as a cooperative agreement. Cooperative agreements typically involve substantial federal involvement during project execution compared with a standard grant, which often means closer coordination with DOE/NETL on technical direction, milestones, reporting, and overall project management. The activity area is categorized as Energy, and it is associated with CFDA number 81.089 (a common DOE assistance listing). While the eligible applicant field is described as "unrestricted," meaning any entity type may respond (industry, universities, nonprofits, national labs, and others), actual participation would still need to align with any eligibility or teaming expectations set by the underlying REPAIR FOA and any clarifications provided in the full text of the notice.
Conceptually, the REPAIR FOA title suggests a focus on innovative methods to rehabilitate or reinforce pipelines through rapid encapsulation approaches that reduce the need for intensive pipeline replacement. That framing implies interest in technologies, materials, methods, or deployment approaches that can extend pipeline life, reduce downtime, improve safety and integrity, and potentially lower costs and disruptions compared to traditional replacement or major excavation-based repairs. Since this is an RFI for a collaboration partner, NETL is likely looking for organizations that bring complementary capabilities such as pipeline integrity technology development, advanced materials, field deployment experience, nondestructive evaluation, manufacturing scale-up, testing and validation, or access to relevant infrastructure and demonstration sites.
Timing and administrative details reflect that this was a short-deadline information-gathering notice. It was created April 24, 2020, with an original closing date of May 4, 2020. The listed award ceiling is "2," and the expected number of awards is shown as zero, which is consistent with an RFI that is not itself making awards but instead supporting teaming decisions for a different FOA. The issuing agency is the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory, indicating NETL is the focal point for responses and the prospective federal partner if the lab proceeds and is selected under the REPAIR funding opportunity.Apply for DE FOA 0002341
