Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) Technology Deployment, Demonstration and Commercialization — CFDA 81.010

OTT deployment obligations at $677.2M

USAspending.gov records $677,215,907.57 in obligations under CFDA 81.010. One hundred nine awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $6.21 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical demonstration-project invoice and not a cost per technology licensed.

The assistance-listing title is OFFICE OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSITIONS (OTT)-TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYMENT, DEMONSTRATION AND COMMERCIALIZATION. CFDA 81.010 is the identifier. Other Department of Energy research or lab-partnership listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $677.2M. Combining those codes would invent a combined tech-transfer total this packet does not contain.

14 recipients and 109 award rows

Fourteen recipients share 109 awards, or about 7.8 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $677,215,907.57 evenly would assign about $48.37 million per recipient. That density is a concentrated-cooperator pattern: a short list of named organizations carrying many assistance rows. The packet does not list the 14. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of national labs or startups.

Thirteen states in the geographic count is a narrow map. Deployment dollars follow project geography as coded, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award rows are not a patent census

Among Energy assistance listings, 81.010 is a high-dollar, low-headcount file: 109 awards against 14 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of demonstrations” and a worse proxy for commercializations. Recipients (14) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (109) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report patents, licenses, or megawatts. Citing 109 as technologies deployed would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states. One hundred nine awards at about $6.21 million each is demonstration-project architecture, not a lab-overhead book.

Obligations versus demonstration outlays

The $677.2M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against OTT deployment awards — are not in the packet. A demonstration file can show a large obligation stock while draws follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 81.010 to size this OTT Technology Deployment, Demonstration and Commercialization listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a lab-overhead or ARPA-E dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 81.010.

What the 81.010 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a patent docket, not a startup directory, and not a lab-by-lab commercialization log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $677,215,907.57. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 109 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 13 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to cooperators.

OTT’s 13-state map and 14-recipient headcount together describe a concentrated demonstration book, not a 50-state Energy formula. A researcher comparing 81.010 with ARPA-E or lab-overhead codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $677.2M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.

Where the 81.010 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 81.010 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other Energy listings. For 81.010 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 81.010’s 109 awards spread $677,215,907.57 across 14 recipients and 13 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 7.8 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Patents, licenses, and megawatts live in other Energy series. Those rows are outside $677,215,907.57 unless they share CFDA 81.010. Quote 109 as assistance records, 14 as organizational payees, and 13 as the geographic count.
