Development
No. Under an agreement with DOE, ORISE conducts work for other federal agencies with its Work for Others (WFO) program. The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) WFO program allows DOE or DOE contractor personnel to perform work for non-DOE entities when the work is not directly funded by DOE. It also provides for the use of DOE facilities for such work. ORISE is uniquely qualified to provide immediate support to federal agencies, state and local governments, colleges and universities, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector.
Like any other business, ORISE is constantly in need of office supplies, maintenance and building supplies and materials, professional services, and equipment. It is the policy of ORAU to ensure that small business concerns including small disadvantaged or minority-owned businesses, 8(a) firms, and women-owned businesses are used to the maximum extent possible, consistent with best commercial practices. For more details on ORISE purchases and procurement policies, see the Procurement home page.
ORAU’s Human Resources office maintains an employment page that shows the current job openings for ORISE.
