The Department of Energy (DOE) provides the framework for a comprehensive and balanced national energy plan through the coordination and administration of the Federal Government's energy functions. The Department is responsible for long-term, high-risk research and development of energy technology; the marketing of Federal power; energy conservation; the nuclear weapons program; energy regulatory programs; and a central energy data collection and analysis program. The programmatic activities of DOE Headquarters are supported through an extensive network of field organizations including Operations Offices, support offices, National Laboratories and other facilities. Significant numbers of these Departmental programs are carried out in DOE-owned laboratories, plants and other facilities. Contractors which operate these facilities are referred to as Management and Operating (M O) contractors. The use of small firms by these M Os in subcontracting activities is an important element of the Department's Small Business Program.
