Since the inception of the Department of Energy in October, 1977, the question has often been asked how a small private concern goes about doing business with DOE. This guide is intended to answer that question by providing basic information and initial contacts for possible business opportunities. Basic principles followed with other federal agencies as well as with the private sector also apply in dealing with DOE. Two principles that are especially appropriate in establishing and keeping a working relationship with DOE procurement and assistance activities are: (1) Learn DOE's needs as well as its awarding policies and practices. (2) Follow leads on where buying is done, where assistance is available, and search out opportunities in all segments of the DOE organization. This guide has been prepared with the aim of presenting this material in a simple straightforward way. In many cases some detail has been sacrificed in the interest of general understanding and clarity. References are made to laws and regulations and a listing of those considered to be of major importance are included in the section entitled References and Bibliography at the end of this guide. The Directory lists the points of contact and addresses for the various DOE headquarters and field organizations, and major DOE contractors.
