Purchase Order DOLB05G420062

The U.S. Department of Labor's Women's Bureau awarded a $19,000 purchase order contract to Roundtree Consulting on July 1, 2005, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2006. The contract was executed without a set-aside designation and will be performed in Renton, Washington. As a purchase order utilizing other pricing arrangements, this contract represents a direct procurement for services or products that support the Women's Bureau's mission of promoting the economic security and advancement of working women.

The Women's Bureau, a civilian agency within the Department of Labor, works to develop policies and standards to benefit women in the workforce. Given the modest contract value and the purchase order vehicle, this engagement with Roundtree Consulting likely involved consulting services, research support, or program administration assistance that contributed to the Bureau's initiatives addressing equal employment opportunity, wage equity, or workforce development for women. The relatively short performance period of approximately eight months suggests a focused, time-limited deliverable or project.
