Perspectives on Energy Efficiency Opportunities and Strategies:Technology an...Alliance To Save Energy
On September 14, Executive Vice President for Programs Brian Castelli keynoted the Riso International Energy Conference 2009 at the Technical University of Denmark, where he addressed the role of energy efficiency in reducing greenhouse gases (GHG).
The American Public Power Association’s “Rate Design for Distributed Generation” report examines rate design options for solar and other distributed generation (DG), using public power utility case studies. The report discusses how utilities have educated customers about new rates, and how DG
and non-DG customers responded. While the rate design options have some drawbacks, and might not be technically feasible for all utilities, they offer the industry new models that account for the rate impacts of distributed generation.
The use of DG, particularly rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV), is growing fast. As of October 2014, just under 8,000 megawatts (MW) of solar capacity was installed on residential and business rooftops across the United States (U.S.).1
The growth of DG has been spurred by environmental concerns and economic considerations. Federal and state tax incentives are a driving force behind solar PV installations
and can together cover up to 70 percent of the total cost of solar panels in some states.2 Declining solar panel prices have also fueled growth in rooftop solar. Utility rate structures for distributed generation have provided a significant benefit to solar customers.
As DG becomes more widespread, rate analysts and researchers are developing new rate designs to help ensure that utilities recover their cost of service, encouraging while providing appropriate incentives for rooftop solar deployment.
Utilities can no longer afford to take a wait and see approach in rate design for DG, nor should they assume that old rate designs adopted before the escalation in DG installations will work in the future.
Most utilities in the U.S. use net metering to measure and compensate customers for the generation they produce. However net metering has several shortcomings and results in non-DG customers subsidizing DG customers.
Utilities have options other than traditional net metering. Many public power utilities have adopted new rate designs to serve DG customers. Some of these rate designs supplement net metering by recouping more of their fixed costs through fixed charges, while other designs provide comprehensive alternatives to net metering.
Utility rate setters must balance between simplicity and accuracy, align costs and prices, support environmental stewardship, and ensure that rate designs are well suited to customers. Customer communication and engagement are essential components of the rate-setting process.
This report does not examine every rate design option, nor does it suggest a single best option. It offers alternatives
to traditional net metering, with case studies. Utilities
can consider how they can adapt rate designs to suit their community’s needs, factoring in market structure, state policies, and other considerations.

The document discusses the Department of Defense's (DOD) electricity usage and the National Defense Authorization Act's directive for DOD to purchase renewable energy certificates (RECs) in bulk. It provides background on federal renewable energy policies and requirements. DOD consumed around 24,765 thousand megawatt-hours of electric power in 2010. The document estimates DOD's state-by-state electricity demand and discusses how REC purchases could help DOD meet renewable energy goals, though some argue REC purchases without associated power do not contribute to energy security.
03 energy efficient electric motor selection handbookDaniel García
This document provides a summary of an energy-efficient electric motor selection handbook. It was compiled to help industry identify opportunities to save energy and costs through use of high-efficiency electric motors. The handbook covers the economic factors to consider when purchasing motors, including how efficiency improvements of 2-6% can significantly reduce operating costs over the life of a motor. It provides guidance on launching motor improvement programs, including worksheets to evaluate potential savings. The overall goal is to assist industry in applying efficient motor technologies in a cost-effective manner.
The federal government is the largest consumer of electricity in the US, purchasing over 57 million megawatt hours annually. The Department of Defense alone consumes over 29 million megawatt hours. Various statutes authorize federal agencies like the General Services Administration and Department of Defense to enter into multi-year contracts with electric utilities and renewable energy generators to meet their energy needs. These contracts can last up to 30 years and allow agencies to take advantage of incentive programs to reduce energy demand and install efficiency improvements with no upfront capital costs.
The document summarizes the history of electricity issues and reforms in the Philippines. It discusses the power crisis in the 1990s that stemmed from insufficient generating capacity. This prompted President Ramos to issue licenses to Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to build new plants. The IPPs solved the short-term crisis but their contracts proved costly. This led to the 2001 Electric Power Industry Reform Act that restructured the industry, privatized generation assets, and established an independent regulator. The document reviews key elements and impacts of the reforms, including the purchased power adjustment mechanism and issues raised around IPPs and distribution utility rates.
An Optimized Neuro-Fuzzy Control System for Afam Vi Power Station (IPP)IRJET Journal
This document discusses an optimized neuro-fuzzy control system for the Afam VI Power Station in Nigeria. It proposes using a neuro-fuzzy system to model the power plant's combustion process and optimize its control system. The neuro-fuzzy control system would consist of different intelligent agents to control various aspects of the power plant like the fossil fuel unit, reference signals, feedforward and feedback control, and coordination. It is argued that a neuro-fuzzy approach could more accurately model the complex power system dynamics compared to traditional modeling equations, leading to improved optimization and efficiency of the power plant's operations.
The document summarizes the key aspects of the Energy Conservation Act 2001 in India. It establishes the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) to promote energy efficiency. The act focuses on reducing demand-supply gaps, emissions, and increasing energy savings through standards and labeling of appliances, energy audits of buildings and industries, and certification of energy managers. It aims to develop a professional workforce in the area of energy efficiency and conservation.
The Environmental Value of Purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates VoluntarilyGo Renewable
This document discusses renewable energy certificates (RECs) and their role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through voluntary renewable energy purchases. It explains that RECs allow electricity customers to purchase renewable energy regardless of their local provider. REC purchases create demand that supports renewable energy development. According to most GHG accounting standards, REC purchases can be claimed as reductions in an organization's indirect emissions from purchased electricity and reductions in their carbon footprint.

The talk will review the many services needed in today's grid, and those that will be more important in the future. It will also review recent competitive equilibrium theory for the highly dynamic markets that may emerge in tomorrow's grid. In particular, to combat volatility from increasing penetration of renewable energy resources, there will be greater need for regulation services at various time-scales. There is enormous potential to secure these ancillary services via demand response. However, there is an obsession today with the promotion of real time prices to incentivize demand response. All evidence strongly suggests that this is a bad idea: 1) In 2011, massive price swings in the real-time market generated anger in Texas and New Zealand 2) Our own research shows that this is to be expected: in a completive equilibrium real-time prices will reach the choke up price (which was recently estimated at 1/4 million dollars). With transmission constraints, our research concludes that prices can go much higher. 3) A recent EIA study shows that consumers are scared of smart meters - they do not trust utility companies to experiment with their meters, or their power bills. We must then ask, is there any motivation to focus on markets in a real-time setting? The speaker believes there is none. Explanations will be given, and alternative visions will be proposed.
The document discusses the potential for expanded use of combined heat and power (CHP) technologies in the United States. It outlines the Department of Energy's goals to increase CHP capacity to 20% through research, demonstration projects, and market transformation efforts. Achieving this level of CHP adoption could significantly reduce carbon emissions and energy costs while creating new jobs. Key CHP markets like industrial, institutional, commercial and district energy facilities represent opportunities to meet local energy needs sustainably and achieve national energy objectives.

This document provides tips for preparing paint specifications, using Section 099123 Interior Painting from ARCOM MasterSpec as an example. It discusses organizing the specification into three parts: Part 1 includes administrative requirements, Part 2 defines the products, and Part 3 describes execution and installation. Within these parts, it outlines key sections like manufacturers, quality assurance (including mockups), submittals, storage and field conditions to ensure the specification provides clear instructions for bidding, installation and verification of the paint work. The document advocates starting with Part 2 to select products before editing the other parts to coordinate with those selections.
This document provides an overview of cool roofs, including:
- Cool roofs have high solar reflectance and thermal emittance, which helps them stay 50-60°F cooler than traditional roofs.
- They are made of highly reflective materials that reflect solar energy and readily emit heat.
- Common cool roof types include those for low-sloped and steep-sloped roofs.
- Benefits include reduced building energy costs from less heat transfer into buildings and mitigation of urban heat islands.
GSA MAS Contractor Team Arrangements and the GSA MAS Program training. This course is designed for the federal 1102 community working in both civilian and
military agencies.
1) Over the past 35 years, the commercial roofing industry has seen significant changes, with single-ply, modified bitumen, and fluid-applied membrane systems becoming more widely used and now comprising around half the market, compared to just 5% in the 1970s.
2) Warranties from manufacturers became more common in the 1980s and 1990s, driving further changes including more highly insulated and energy efficient roofing systems.
3) Today, factors like sustainability, energy efficiency, and costs are important considerations in roof selection, with fluid-applied systems offering advantages in these areas though not all roofs are suitable candidates. Proper evaluation is needed to determine eligibility for these systems.
In its inaugural year, NYC CoolRoofs coated over 1 million square feet of rooftops across 135 buildings with help from 1,600 volunteers. The program aimed to combat the urban heat island effect, lower energy costs for New Yorkers, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Focusing efforts in neighborhoods like Long Island City and Bedford-Stuyvesant, the most square footage coated in a single month was over 200,000 in October.
This document promotes Astec roofing systems for public housing authorities. It summarizes that Astec restores existing roof substrates rather than replacing them, saving up to half the cost. This leads to energy savings up to 40% by creating cool roofs. Astec has helped public housing authorities reduce costs and maintain roofs for 10 years with renewable warranties.
This document discusses measurement science needs for achieving net-zero energy, high-performance buildings. It notes that buildings account for 40% of US energy use and discusses the need to significantly reduce building energy consumption through innovative technologies. Measurement science is lacking to enable building systems to communicate, interact and perform reliably in an integrated manner. The document outlines specific measurement science challenges and needs across several areas, including developing standard models, protocols, metrics and tools to enable net-zero energy buildings.
This case study shows how Camp Arifjan in Kuwait was able to reduce energy usage by 26% through the use of elastomeric coatings designed to reduce surface temperatures. Also known as cool roof or wall coatings the Astec products by ICC have been saving companies thousands of dollars every year for more than 25 years.
GSA presents this resource as an aid to improve current practices and to encourage continuing innovations that create and maintain sustainable work environments.
GSA evaluated 12 sustainably designed buildings in its national portfolio. The evaluation of these buildings was comprehensive measuring environmental performance, financial metrics, and occupant satisfaction. No previous analysis has taken such a holistic view. the buildings studied all incorporated sustainable design criteria to varying degrees, with seven receiving leed ratings. The results of GSA's evaluation show that sustainably designed buildings outperform the national average for buildings of their type by a substantial margin.
This document provides an introduction to building energy codes, including:
- The IECC and ASHRAE 90.1 are the primary baseline building energy codes that can be adopted by states. Both are updated every three years through open public processes.
- The IECC applies to both residential and commercial buildings, while ASHRAE 90.1 applies only to commercial buildings.
- The IECC process involves proposed changes being submitted and publicly reviewed before hearings where testimony is provided and votes are taken by governmental members to determine the final code.
- Collaboration between various stakeholders is important for maintaining and updating the codes to address technological and policy issues.

5. This reference guide provides basic
information about how to do
business with the Federal
government. Following the
procedures outlined in this guide
does not guarantee that work will Introduction
be awarded to your firm.
The US Government is a major purchaser
of products from suppliers throughout
the country. Selling to the Federal
government is an important outlet for
many manufacturers and distributors,
from large corporations to small
businesses. Companies with energy-efficient products and services
have special opportunities in the Federal sector. This document
highlights the major avenues to becoming a supplier and gives sources
of information for private companies to use.
Federal agencies buy energy-efficient products for several reasons,
ranging from Federal policies and regulations to economic and
environmental benefits. Federal policy and the Federal Acquisition
Regulations (FAR) require agencies to buy ENERGY STAR® qualified and
FEMP-designated products. In most cases, purchasing energy-efficient
products will save the government a significant amount of total
ownership cost over the product’s useful life. Although actual savings
vary according to energy costs at each site, hours of operation, and the
price premium for a more efficient product, the Department of Energy’s
Federal Energy Management Program (DOE/FEMP) estimates that
Federal agencies can save well over $200 million annually by choosing
more efficient products.
Environmental benefits also accrue from using energy-efficient
products. Each therm of natural gas, gallon of oil, or kilowatt-hour of
electricity saved means less air pollution generated — and more energy
available for other productive uses throughout the economy. Smog,
acid rain, and greenhouse gas emissions are all reduced
through the use of more energy-efficient products.
The last important benefit from Federal procurement of
energy-efficient products is market influence. Federal
agencies spend at least $10 billion per year on purchases of
energy-using products. While this represents only 1 to 2
percent of total US sales, it makes the Federal government as
a whole the largest buyer in the world for almost any
product. Thus, Federal criteria for energy-efficient
purchasing can help move the entire market toward greater
efficiency. Higher demand for efficient products also
stimulates suppliers to compete for this important market
1
6. segment, in turn increasing the availability and reducing the cost of
more efficient equipment for Federal and non-federal buyers alike.
Federal Purchasing Policies and Regulations
To support the environmental and economic benefits mentioned
above, both Congress and the Executive Office have enacted policies
and regulations that require Federal agencies to purchase energy-
efficient products:
• The National Energy Conservation Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 8259b)
as amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act of
2007 (P.L. 110-140) and the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109
58) requires Federal agencies to purchase ENERGY STAR qualified
or FEMP-designated products. For products not covered by the
ENERGY STAR or FEMP programs, Federal buyers are required to
buy products that are among the highest 25% for energy
efficiency. This act also provides that each agency, when
purchasing “commercially-available, off-the-shelf products that
use external standby power devices, or that contain an internal
standby power function, shall purchase products that use no
more than one watt in their standby power consuming mode.”
If products are not available with one-watt standby, then FEMP
designates another low level of standby power.
• Executive Order 13423 Strengthening Federal Environmental,
Energy, and Transportation Management (1/24/2007), require
agencies to purchase energy efficient, water conserving and
other environmentally preferable products.
• The Federal Acquisition Regulations (48 CFR 23.203 Energy-
Efficient Products) mandates that “If life-cycle cost-effective and
available, when acquiring energy-using products, contracting
officers must purchase ENERGY STAR or other energy-efficient
products designated by the Department of Energy’s Federal
Energy Management Program (FEMP).”
To encourage and assist agencies in following these Federal policies,
FEMP publishes a series of Purchasing Specifications for Energy Efficient
Products. Each Specification identifies the efficiency level that complies
FEMP’s Purchasing Specifications for
Energy Efficient Products are located with Federal policies and FAR directives (roughly the top 25th percentile
at www.ee re.ene rgy.gov/femp/
www.eere.ene rgy.gov/f
re.energy.gov/femp/ of the market for each product class), and offers the buyer guidance
procurement regarding alternative technologies, equipment sizing, installation and
controls. In addition, there is a cost-effectiveness example to help
determine when the price premium (if any) for an energy-efficient
product is worthwhile. Last, each Specification provides information on
where to buy efficient products, including contact information for the
2
2
7. appropriate Federal supply agency or other sources. These Specifications
are listed at www.eere.energy.gov/femp/procurement/.
In coordination with the ENERGY STAR labeling program over sixty
products, ranging from office equipment and household appliances to
large heating and cooling systems, have been identified as being cost
effective in the Federal sector. Please see Appendix A for a current list
of these products.
Sellers can determine if their products meet the FEMP-designated
Efficiency criteria and lists of
efficiency levels by going to the FEMP Web site cited above. They can products that qualify for the EPA/
likewise determine if their products qualifies as ENERGY STAR by DOE ENERGY STAR® product labeling

purchased from the Government Printing Office (GPO) at
www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html.
Federal acquisitions are made through four primary routes:
• two major Federal supply agencies: the Defense Logistics
Agency and the General Services Administration;
• energy savings performance contracts and utility energy
service contracts to renovate and upgrade efficiency features in
government buildings;
• construction, operations and maintenance (O&M), or other
service contracts; and
• direct sales to agencies through competitive solicitations
(contracts for larger volume purchases) or from retail
commercial sources using Federal credit cards (for smaller
purchases).
Different items usually fall under each of these. Most of the everyday
things, office products and smaller purchases, are bought through the
supply agencies or with procurement credit cards. Larger items, such as
chillers and boilers for buildings, would be specified in contracts for
retrofits or other services for government buildings.

8. The Federal Supply Agencies
The two main Federal supply agencies, the Defense Logistics Agency
(DLA) and the General Services Administration (GSA) use the
government’s position as a large-volume buyer to negotiate favorable
procurement terms for commonly purchased items, including many
energy-using products.1 Both agencies work to negotiate with vendors
on prices and delivery terms; often the product is shipped directly from
the vendor to the Federal customer. Either supply agency can sell
products to any government agency. Their offerings are generally
distinct—for example GSA deals with computers and printers while
DLA does not—but there is some overlap, as with lighting products.
Defense Logistics Agency
DLA is one of the military’s major purchasing channels, proving almost
90% of all Department of Defense (DoD) consumable items. It also
serves as a purchasing office for civilian agencies for some equipment
and supply categories. The DLA has five business divisions: a support
unit, a distribution unit, and three major inventory control points
called Defense Supply Centers. These centers are organized into
product teams, each responsible for procuring different kinds of
For information on business equipment for both military and civilian agencies. To find the listing of
opportunities with DLA see product teams and their locations, go to www.dla.mil and click on
www.dtc.dla.mil/dsbusiness/ “DLA Organization” in the left hand column. For information on

default.htm doing business with DLA, click on the “Vendor” tab.
The Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP) deals with many
energy-related building products, including:
• Lighting products for non-residential use, including fluorescent
tube lamps and ballasts, compact fluorescent lamps, and high-
intensity discharge lighting
• Air-conditioning and heating equipment
• Food service equipment
• Plumbing fixtures
• Products with low standby power
To contact DSCP, call 1-800-DLA-BULB.
After a DLA product team determines that there is sufficient Federal
demand for a product or service, they solicit bids and negotiate pricing
with the vendors. The next step is to issue a National Stock Number
1
There are other smaller, specialized supply agencies, such as the Veterans
Administration’s National Acquisition Center (NAC) at www.va.gov/oamm/oa/nac/
fsss/svh.cfm. For more details, see the agency listings in Appendix B.

9. (NSN) and post the item in DLA’s master catalog database, the Federal
Logistics Information System or FLIS, FEDLOG (the Federal Catalog
System), and the electronic commerce site, DoD EMALL
(www.emall.dla.mil/).
DLA also chairs the Joint Group on Environmental Attributes, which
uses a consensus process to recognize important environmental
attributes, including energy efficiency (based on FEMP and ENERGY
STAR criteria). Other current environmental attributes include water
conservation, recycled content, low standby power, asbestos
alternatives, and low-volatility organic compounds.
Once a new attribute is accepted, cataloged products that meet the
criteria are identified using an Environmental Attributes Code, or
ENAC. Each coded product is highlighted with a special symbol in
both FEDLOG and EMALL, making these environmentally preferable
items easier for customers to identify. All products that meet the
ENERGY STAR or FEMP efficiency levels are identified with ENAC codes.
General Services Administration
GSA serves as the business agent for Federal agencies, providing the
supplies, workplaces, and support that other agencies need. The Federal
Supply Service (FSS) is one of three activities overseen by GSA; the other
two are the Federal Technology Service (FTS) and the Public Buildings
Service (PBS). Both FSS and FTS deal with energy-efficient products
covered in this publication. General information on selling to the
government through GSA is at www.gsa.gov/. GSA also publishes a
useful reference document “Your Guide for How to Market to the
Federal Government.”2
Most GSA procurement of energy-using products is done through the http://www.gsa.gov/
GSA Schedules Program. Each schedule covers a number of related
products and services and includes negotiated prices and terms with
several suppliers. Examples of energy-related products found on GSA
schedules include: computers and other office equipment, appliances,
water heaters, lighting, TVs and home electronics, commercial food
service equipment, and distribution transformers. There is also a
supply schedule for energy auditing and other energy management
services. GSA negotiates comparable terms and conditions with
vendors who then sell directly to Federal buyers.
The schedules program is also referred to as the Multiple Awards
Schedules (MAS) because there are multiple vendors for most product
types. For instance, Schedule 51-V, Hardware Superstore, lists several
competing vendors of compact refrigerators. GSA does not evaluate the

10. products to determine which models provide the best value in terms of
life-cycle costs; instead, the Federal purchaser must compare efficiency
levels, energy cost and use, and purchase prices to make a choice.
Periodically, GSA requests bids from vendors listed on their
solicitations mailing list. GSA contracting officers review the bids,
which must include information about the pricing and discount
practices for both government and commercial buyers. Contracts are
awarded to all responsible companies meeting the criteria. Items are
then assigned numbers and listed in the Schedule, along with price,
delivery terms, and contact information. Once items are listed, Federal
buyers can contact the vendor directly to request a GSA-approved price
list and place an order.
It is important for prospective vendors to note that a schedule listing
does not guarantee any sales. Vendors are still responsible for
promoting their own products, although GSA helps by allowing them
to list their offerings on GSAAdvantage! (www.gsaadvantage.gov/),
which includes a special online shopping site where Federal buyers can
request for quote for a particular service (click on e-Buy at the
GSAAdvantage! Web site). GSA also helps by sponsoring numerous
regional training forums for both vendors and government buyers
along with a national products and services exposition each year. In
addition, Federal buyers receive GSA’s bi-monthly magazine, Marketips
(www.gsa.gov/marketips).
In sum, participating in the GSA Schedules program offers great
opportunities for vendors to market to the government sector while
making it significantly easier for Federal buyers to identify and procure
the products they need.
Vendors can see the list of schedules and associated product types and
obtain a copy of solicitations by checking the GSA Schedules e-Library
system (www.gsaelibrary.gsa.gov/elib/eLibrary.jsp), by visiting the
Federal Business Opportunities Web site at www.fedbizopps.gov, or by
contacting the local GSA Regional Small Business Utilization Center
(See Appendix C).
Introducing Innovative Products through the Supply Agencies
As vendors introduce new or improved products and services, GSA
allows for them to be added to the Multiple Awards Schedule through a
program called Introduction of New Service/Products (INSP) Special
Item Number (SIN). This program was created because regular
contracting methods make it difficult to introduce new items in a
timely fashion. Products added under the INSP SIN must offer a new
service, function, or attribute that allows Federal agencies to
accomplish their mission more economically or efficiently. GSA
6
11. encourages vendor requests as new products become available and
provides temporary placement on a GSA schedule until the new
product can be formally categorized.
A prospective supplier of a new or improved product must apply to
GSA through a regional GSA Small Business Utilization Center (see
Appendix C).
Energy Saving Performance and Utility Service Contracting
Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and Utility Energy
Services Contracts (UESCs) are alternative funding mechanisms that
agencies can use to make energy-efficiency improvements to their
facilities. ESPCs and UESCs reduce energy costs and consumption at
Federal facilities without increasing budgetary outlays. These contracts
enable agencies to obtain new capital equipment, improve the indoor
environment, and reduce pollution.
ESPCs allow Federal agencies to partner with the private sector to
finance and install energy saving projects in Federal buildings. Under
the legislation authorizing ESPCs, the contractor (or Energy Services
Company, ESCO), using private investment capital, designs, purchases,
installs, and maintains energy-saving capital improvements at the
Federal site, all in exchange for a share of the energy cost savings.
UESCs are specific contracts that allow utilities to provide agencies
with comprehensive energy and water efficiency improvements,
including measures to reduce peak electricity demand. The utility
typically arranges financing to cover the capital costs of the project. As
with an ESPC, the utility is repaid over the term of the contract from
cost savings generated by the energy (or water) saving measures.
ESPCs and UESCs have created a new market for private companies and
utilities. For information on participating in these programs, contact
FEMP, who can provide assistance on audit reviews, investment
decisions, and technical issues, project facilitation, acquisition
planning tools, financial reviews, and training. Information on ESPCs
and UESCs can be found on FEMP’s Web site at: www.eere.energy.gov/
femp/financing/mechanisms.html. Vendors who think their products
are well suited for ESPC projects can find a list of each of the DOE
qualified ESCOs and a contact for each company at:
www.eere.energy.gov/femp/financing/superespcs_doeescos.html.

12. Construction, Operation & Maintenance, and Other Contracts
A significant amount of energy- and water-conserving equipment is
bought and installed in Federal facilities through everyday operations
and maintenance (O&M) or construction work. This includes air-
conditioning chillers, energy-efficient windows, highly reflective
“cool” roofing materials, lighting and appliances, and plumbing
fixtures. The agencies handling the greatest number of contracts are
the Navy, the Army Corps of Engineers, NASA, the Veterans
Administration, and the Postal Service. GSA’s Public Buildings Service
manages construction and O&M work for most of the remaining
agencies. Major procurements by any of these agencies offer
opportunities for selling energy-efficient products that are included as
part of a larger capital project or ongoing O&M service agreement.
Direct Sales to Agencies
A large number of sales to the government occur through direct
procurement, either by agency procurement officials or, especially for
smaller items, by any of the almost 400,000 Federal employees who
carry Federal-issue credit cards. Credit card purchases by individual
employees are usually limited to $2,500, but procurement officials
generally have much higher limits ($100,000 is common).
Federal Business Opportunities, accessed at www.fedbizopps.gov, is the
single government point-of-entry (GPE) for Federal procurements over
Federal Business Opportunities at $25,000. Government buyers are able to publicize their business

products can search and retrieve opportunities solicited by the entire
Federal contracting community.
How to Get on a Bidders List
All Federal contracts, whether the materials will be bought through
sealed bid or by negotiation and schedule placement, are announced
on-line and also publicized through solicitation lists, to insure that
decisions are made on a competitive basis. An important step in
providing products or services to the government is to request that
your firm be placed on the appropriate solicitation mailing lists. This
assures that you will be notified of upcoming contracts and requests for
proposals. You must apply separately for each activity in which you
wish to be considered.
Regardless of the size of your business, the GSA Small Business
Utilization Center serving your area should be among your first points of
8

13. contact (see next section and Appendix C). This valuable resource is
considered the front door to contracting opportunities with the General
Services Administration, and through GSA, with all Federal agencies.
To start, investigate which agencies are the most likely buyers for your
products, then request and complete the forms for placement on the
appropriate solicitation mailing lists. Depending on the agency, the size
of the contract, and the type of procurement – sealed bid or negotiation
– you may need to submit different documentation to support your
application. For example, the purchasing office may require detailed
statements of estimated costs and other evidence of reasonable price, as
well as discount policies for placement on a GSA schedule. For projects
whose cost will exceed $25,000, potential bidders must also supply
evidence of their ability to fulfill the contracts.
Depending on their size, contracts may be administered regionally or
nationwide. Projects estimated to cost less than $25,000 are overseen
directly by the Regional Small Business Centers. Again, contact the
nearest Center for a list of projects.
DoD requires documents or listings different from those required by
GSA. To do business with DLA and other DoD entities, you must first
obtain a DUNS number. The Data Universal Number System (DUNS) Comprehensive guidelines
Number is unique nine-character business identification. If you do not on doing business with DoD

have a DUNS Number, contact Dun and Bradstreet at: www.dnb.com/
osbp/
www.acq.osd.mil/ osbp/
US/duns_update/index.html to obtain one. Next, vendors must doing business/index.htm
business/index.htm
register in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). The CCR is the
primary registrant database for the U.S. Federal government. You can
start your registration at: www.ccr.gov/Start.aspx. Please note that
vendors who deal only in credit card purchases at a local level do not
need to be registered in the CCR.
You then need a CAGE Code. The Commercial and Government Entity
(CAGE) code is a five position code that identifies contractors doing
business with the Federal government, NATO member nations, and other
foreign governments. If you do not have a CAGE Code, one will be
assigned to you when you complete the CCR registration. Finally, a
financial account capable of receiving electronic funds transfers is a
mandatory requirement and is provided in the CCR registration.
To do business with DLA, you should register with the DLA-BSM
Internet Bid Board System www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/ (DIBBS). DIBBS is
a web-based application that provides the capability to search for, view,
and submit secure quotes on Requests For Quotations (RFQs) for items
of supply included in the DLA Business System Modernization (BSM)
Program. DIBBS also allows users to search and view Request For
Proposals (RFPs), Invitations For Bid (IFBs), Awards and other
procurement information related to BSM.

14. Registration is required to receive a login account and password to
conduct transactions over the restricted portions of BSM DIBBS (e.g.,
submitting electronic quotes on RFQs) and to register email addresses
for solicitation and award notification on BSM items. Detailed system
requirements and instructions for registration can be found on the
BSM DIBBS home page at www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/. For more up-to
date information on doing business with DLA, go to the Supplier
Resource Information Center at: www.dla.mil/j-6/bsm/sirc/.
Once vendors have a DUNS number and a CAGE code, they are eligible
to conduct business with DLA. However, to engage in electronic
commerce and Electronic Data Interchange with the Federal
government, a vendor will also need to register as an electronic trading
partner. This can be done on-line at the DoD electronic commerce site
(www.acq.osd.mil/ec; click on “Vendor Corner”).
Business Partner Network
The Business Partner Network is a central source of vendor data for the
Federal government. Through this search engine vendors can access
key databases across all Federal agencies. To access the BPN, go to
www.bpn.gov.
One of the most important databases in BPN is DoD’s Central
Contractor Registration (CCR). CCR started as the single repository for
vendor data for DoD. In January 2004 the Small Business
Administration integrated its PRO-Net database into CCR. Businesses
can register, update their profile and provide hyperlinks to their Web
sites from this database. To access CCR, click on the hyperlink from the
BPN Home Page.
Other portals that can be accessed from the BPN Home Page include:
• Business Identification Number Cross-reference System (BINCS)
• Online Representation and Certification Application (ORCA)
• Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS)
• Unique Identification (UID) registry
• Small Business Administration (SBA) home page
• FedBizOps
Special Opportunities for Small Businesses
It is the policy of the Federal government to provide maximum practicable
opportunities in its acquisitions to small business, veteran-owned small
business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small
10
15. business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business
concerns. Both GSA and DoD have Small Business Programs. For more
information on each of the programs, go to, for GSA: www.gsa.gov/Portal/
gsa/ep/channelView.do?pageTypeId=8199&channelId=-13325 and for
DoD: www.acq.osd.mil/osbp/index.html.
In addition to those programs, two other sources provide valuable
assistance and educational programs for small businesses interested in
learning how to do business with the government. They are the Small
Business Administration and the DoD Procurement Technical
Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program, administered by DLA.
Each program provides a variety of information and assistance to small
businesses, such as:
• Small Business Socio-Economic Programs
• Small Business Set-Aside Programs
• How to Research and Bid on Contracts
• Assistance with Registration Requirements
• Bid-Matching Services
• Assistance with Pre and Post Contracting Issues
Small Business Administration
The Small Business Administration (SBA) is also a primary source of
information on how to do business with the Federal government. To

SBA for assistance or review guidelines posted on the SBA Web site at www.sba.gov or contact the SBA
www.sba.gov
www.sba.gov/businessop/index.html. Answer Desk at 1-800-827-5722
The SBA’s Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) and Business
Information Centers (BIC) provide convenient locations where small
businesses can receive technical assistance and advice. SBDCs are found
in 56 locations, with a network of nearly 1,000 sub-centers. At more
than 80 locations, BICs offer computer resources, a reference library,
and business counseling offered by the Service Corps of Retired
Executives, a program allowing retired businesspeople to lend their
expertise to current and future small business owners.
Several SBA databases can help you market your products or services.
The SBA’s Technology Resources Network (TECH-Net) is a database for
those seeking small business partners for high-tech products and
technology research. TECH-Net also serves as search engine for
contracting officers.

16. Procedures and requirements for government contracts vary; therefore, it
is important to contact your target agencies directly. Each Federal
agency operates an Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business
Utilization (OSDBU) that can provide information about that agency’s
purchases and special programs for small businesses. The SBA Web site
provides hotlinks to OSDBU offices at www.sba.gov/yourgovt/
osdbu.html.
DoD PTAC
The DoD Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) provides
assistance to eligible entities by sharing the cost of counseling centers
known as Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs). The
purpose of this program is to generate employment and to improve the
general economy by assisting business firms in obtaining and
performing under Federal agencies, state, and local government
contracts. The law (Chapter 142 of title 10 U.S.C.) requires the Secretary
of Defense, through the Director of DLA, to enter into cost sharing
cooperative agreements with eligible entities. Within DLA, the DLA
Director of Small Business Programs is responsible for the management
of the PTAP. The eligible entities include State and Local governments,
Colleges and Universities, other non-profit organizations, Indian
Economic Enterprises, and Indian Tribal Organizations.
PTACs provide day-to-day assistance to firms seeking to do business
with Federal agencies and state and local governments in the form of
such services as assisting with CCR registration, helping prepare bids/
proposals, marketing to potential buyers, establishing electronic
commerce capability, setting up or improving quality assurance and
accounting systems, resolving payment problems, etc. This specialized
and professional assistance may consist of, but is not limited to,
outreach and counseling type services. Participants in this program
make a concerted effort to seek out and assist small businesses, small
disadvantaged businesses (SDB), women-owned small businesses
(WOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) small
business concerns and Historically Black Colleges and Minority
Institutions, and, veteran-owned small businesses including service-
disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). A listing of PTACs
is available at www.dla.mil/pta.
GSA Small Business Utilization Centers
As noted earlier, a good place for any business to begin researching
contracting opportunities is with one of GSA’s 11 Regional Small
Appendix C has a list of the
GSA Regional Small
Business Utilization Centers (listed in Appendix C).
Business Utilization Centers
Each center is staffed by GSA Small Business Technical Advisors who can
12
17. provide information on Federal contracting procedures, current bidding
opportunities with GSA, how to get on the GSA solicitation mailing
lists, and how to review bid abstracts to learn the history of various
contract awards. These specialists also offer small business counseling
and guidance on introducing new items for government purchase.
For more information on GSA’s Regional Small Business Utilization
Centers, visit the GSA Web site at www.gsa.gov/1
Conclusion
In conclusion, there is no “silver bullet” for selling to the Federal
government; there are several avenues one can take and an enormous
variety of potential buyers. As one successful vendor on a GSA schedule
claims, “Every time I try to use a centralized approach, I come up
empty. You have to reach the end-customer, the decision-maker.”
The key is understanding the best route, the best niche for sales of your
product through routine purchases from the GSA or DLA sales programs,
via energy saving performance contracting, or large construction work,
or some combination — and pursuing it accordingly.
