The purpose of DOE’s Work for Others Program is to-
(a) Provide access for non-DOE entities to highly specialized or unique DOE facilities, services, or technical expertise, when private facilities are inadequate;
(b) Increase research and development interactions among DOE’s management and operating contractors and industry in order to transfer DOE technologies to industry for further development or commercialization;
(c) Maintain facility core competencies;
(d) Enhance the science and technology capabilities at DOE facilities; and
(e) Provide assistance to other Federal agencies and non-Federal entities in accomplishing goals that may otherwise be unattainable and to avoid the possible duplication of effort at Federal facilities.
