Clean Cities - Implementation Initiatives to Advance Alternative Fuel Markets

All types of domestic entities including DOE National Laboratories/Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDC) (as defined by EPAct 2005, Section 989) and Non-DOE FFRDC contractors are eligible to apply, as either prime Recipients or sub-recipients /subcontractors except for NETL or other Federal agencies, and nonprofit organizations described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995. Please reference the following website for a listing of eligible FFRDC's http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/ffrdclist/start.cfm. If a DOE National Laboratory/FFRDC is selected as a prime recipient under this announcement, it is DOE?s intent to award the selection through the Field Work Proposal process. However, if a project is selected with a DOE National Laboratory/FFRDC sub-recipient/ subcontractor, it is not the intent of the DOE to award that portion through the Field Work Proposal process. Rather, the anticipated approach is a Work for Others (WFO) agreement/subcontract between the recipient and the DOE National Laboratory/FFRDC. Likewise, if a project is selected with a Non-DOE FFRDC sub-recipient, DOE will not fund that Non-DOE FFRDC through an interagency agreement with the sponsoring agency. The value of, and funding for, any FFRDC subcontracted/WFO portion of the work shall be included in the award to a successful applicant.
