Purchase Order DOLB07H420261

The U.S. Department of Labor's Women's Bureau awarded a $4,500 firm fixed price purchase order to ND Women's Network (UEI: RANFVJKK6A74) on September 30, 2007, with performance to conclude on September 30, 2008. The contract was executed without a set-aside designation and will be performed in Bismarck, North Dakota. This contract represents the Women's Bureau's effort to support initiatives that advance economic security and workplace equity for women across the nation.

Under this purchase order, ND Women's Network will develop a model designed to promote flexible work policies and identify local resources for women seeking such arrangements. The deliverable addresses a key priority within the Women's Bureau's mission to help working women access workplace flexibility options that support work-life balance and economic participation. The relatively modest contract value reflects a focused effort to create a replicable model and resource guide that can be disseminated to women in North Dakota and potentially serve as a template for similar initiatives in other regions.
