Purchase Order DOLB09E421960

The U.S. Department of Labor's Women's Bureau awarded a $3,000 purchase order to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development on September 10, 2009, for services related to "Working Women in Transition" per the statement of work. The contract was completed on January 7, 2010, with performance conducted in Chicago, Illinois. This award was not set aside for small businesses. The Indiana Department of Workforce Development, a child entity of the State of Indiana, served as the prime contractor for this initiative, which aligns with the Women's Bureau's mission to advance economic security and workplace equality for women in the labor force.

The modest contract value reflects a specialized, time-limited engagement focused on providing transitional workforce services to women. The Women's Bureau, as part of the Department of Labor, supports programs designed to help women navigate career changes, skill development, and labor market participation. This award to Indiana's workforce development agency demonstrates the state's role in implementing federally-supported workforce initiatives at the regional level, leveraging existing state infrastructure to deliver targeted employment services to eligible participants in the Chicago metropolitan area.
