The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded a $26.8K firm fixed-price Blanket Purchase Agreement call to Diversity Marketing and Communications LLC on April 28, 2016, for direct costs and fixed-price fees in support of three conferences. The work was performed in Florham Park, New Jersey, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2016. The contract was issued under the General Services Administration's Professional Services Schedule and did not utilize a small business set-aside designation. Diversity Marketing and Communications LLC, a Newark-based woman-owned small business certified as both an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business and Women-Owned Small Business, competed in open competition and was selected based on its qualifications and pricing.

Diversity Marketing and Communications LLC brings substantial federal contracting experience to this engagement, having served as a registered federal contractor since 2006. The company specializes in comprehensive marketing, communications, advertising, and consulting services, with a track record of multiple prime contract awards primarily from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and other federal agencies. The vendor maintains two significant federal contract vehicles: a $6M General Services Administration multiple-award Federal Supply Schedule contract and a $5M single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the National Institutes of Health focused on outreach services. These existing vehicles demonstrate the company's established capability in delivering professional services across multiple federal agencies and position it well to execute conference support activities for NIEHS.
