DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

 

Dawnbreaker, Determination of Noncompetitive Financial Assistance

AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: DOE announces that pursuant to 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2), it intends 
to issue on a noncompetitive basis a renewal to Dawnbreaker, Rochester, 
New York, to continue providing training, through individual 
instruction, to recipients of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) 
Program Phase II awards. The period of performance for the renewal will 
be one year. The estimated cost is $199,792.

PROCUREMENT REQUEST NO.: 05-94ER80688.001.

PROJECT SCOPE: This grant was awarded September 15, 1989, in response 
to DOE Program Solicitation No. DE-PSO5-89ER80688, and was renewed on 
March 15, 1991, and December 15, 1992, for a second and third year, 
respectively. The grantee will continue to provide assistance to 
recipients of SBIR Phase II awards in preparing business plans and 
business opportunity presentations, and in presenting these materials 
to potential sponsors in a Commercialization Opportunity Forum. Each 
company will also be provided with several contacts of prospective 
value. A secondary objective is to have these same companies well 
enough prepared so that they can pursue cooperative and other financial 
agreements with parties outside the Forum. In accordance with 10 CFR 
600.7, it has been determined that the activity to be funded is 
necessary for the satisfactory completion of an activity that will 
enhance the public benefit derived and for which competition would have 
a significant adverse effect on completion of the activity. Dawnbreaker 
has developed an exclusive capability to perform the requisite 
training, both through its prior experience and through the training 
methods and tools developed under the initial grant. Also, the rights 
to intellectual property developed under this project pass to 
Dawnbreaker under the regulations which apply to small business. 
Eligibility for renewal of this award is, therefore, restricted to 
Dawnbreaker.
