Purchase Order DOLB089E27037

The U.S. Employment Standards Administration awarded a $88,635 firm fixed-price purchase order to Ethridge & Miller PC for SAS 70 audit services. The contract, issued on March 10, 2008, with performance concluded by September 30, 2008, was executed without a set-aside designation. Work was performed in Washington, DC. SAS 70 audits, formally known as Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 audits, evaluate the controls and security measures of service organizations, providing critical assurance to clients regarding operational effectiveness and data protection—services particularly valuable for government agencies managing sensitive employment and wage-related information.

The Employment Standards Administration, a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Labor, administers federal employment laws and programs. This audit engagement supported the agency's operational oversight and compliance infrastructure, ensuring appropriate controls were in place across the organization's processes and systems. The engagement represented a focused, time-limited professional services contract typical of specialized audit and compliance work required to maintain organizational integrity and regulatory adherence.
