DOE Strategic Partnership Projects (“Work for Others Sample Clauses

DOE Strategic Partnership Projects (“Work for Others. The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Strategic Partnership Projects (SPP) is another mechanism for allowing outside entrepreneurs either access to government research facilities or to have government agencies do work for them. The program was formerly known as “Work For Others” until a name change that came into effect in April 2015.51 The official definition for a SPP is any “fully-reimbursed research/work undertaken by a DOE national laboratory, facility, plant, or site… for a client other than DOE or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).”52 Though primarily used by other government agencies, “individuals, private companies, [and] universities” can also participate as long as “DOE facilities are not… placed in direct competition with the domestic private sector.”53 One of the objectives of SPP is to provide an opportunity for other government agencies and outside organizations to gain “access… to highly specialized or unique DOE/NNSA [National Nuclear Security Administration] facilities, services, or technical expertise when private facilities are inadequate.”54 In the past, the SPP has been used for activities “that range from providing instrumentation for lunar landing missions to state-of-the art security tools at national and international venues such as the Olympics to advances in biofuels and hydrogen storage (a partnership with private industry).”55 While the similarities to partnership intermediary agreements are apparent, SPP also have a number of issues that PIAs do not. While a PIA operates only under the terms of its contract, a SPP must also be in compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulations and the Department of Energy Acquisition Regulations. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is notoriously complex, with The Washington Post’s Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx referring to it as “1,897 pages of the densest prose on the planet.”56 Even more importantly, as previously mentioned, “DOE facilities [can] not… be placed in direct competition with the domestic private sector.”57 This restriction limits the potential for SSP to be used in the process of commercializing inventions. Additionally, the reimbursement requirement, while not a problem for another federal agency, can be a barrier to startups seeking more flexible cooperative arrangements. Avoiding these significant regulatory barriers is one major advantage of PIAs that make them more attractive as a foundation for innovation orchards. Additionally, while PIAs are indefinite partnerships that ...
