SECTION 2 – DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

2.1 BACKGROUND

The Office on Women's Health (OWH) was established in 1991 within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). As the focal point for women’s health within HHS, OWH coordinates the efforts of all the HHS agencies and offices involved in women's health. Its vision is to ensure that "All women and girls achieve the best possible health." Its mission is to "provide national leadership and coordination to improve the health of women and girls through policy, education and model programs."

OWH works to redress inequities in policy, programs, health care services, and education that historically placed the health of women at risk. OWH promotes women's health through its 4 basic functions.

1. Coordinating and Promoting Collaborations among HHS Agencies and Offices: OWH serves as the coordinating office for women's health initiatives across the agencies of HHS, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and other agencies and offices.

2. Providing Information on Research, Prevention and Services to Assist Decision-Makers:

OWH convenes and consults with federal departments, the scientific community, professional organizations, and consumer groups to support and advance women's health.

3. Identifying, Developing and Supporting Innovative Programs in Women's Health: OWH promotes the development and implementation of evidence-based initiatives in academic centers and communities to address the health needs of women across different ages, cultures, races, and ethnic groups, including delivery of care to women and education of health care practitioners about women's health.

4. Educating Health and Wellness Professionals and Consumers: OWH promotes comprehensive health services for women across their lifespan. OWH also supports the development and use of culturally appropriate practices in medical education and research, so all individuals and communities benefit. Through its efforts, OWH brings reliable information on hundreds of health topics to women in every region of America. It also helps consumers, associations, and organizations voice their ideas about the federal government's policies on women's health.

2.2 PURPOSE

The OWH seeks one sponsorship opportunity for one or more events designed to reach women, girls, health professionals, or media influencers for women and girls. This sponsorship will allow OWH to raise the visibility of its brand, website, and key health issues while creating lasting partnerships with different organizations.

Attending the events will also provide OWH with direct access to different professional audiences (health professionals, social media influencers, journalists, and other creators of health content) as well as business decision makers and ultimately consumers of health information.

By securing the sponsorship, OWH seeks to gain:

• Positive promotion of the OWH brand among those who create, use, or report on health information

• Increased brand awareness by reaching a wider demographic

• Enhanced customer experience through interactions with influencers, reporters and consumers in a positive low stress environment.

• Opportunities for access to program attendees, including but not limited to special break-out sessions, keynote addresses, and exhibit hall opportunities

Sponsoring this event will enable OWH to have key time and space to address program attendees (e.g.

provide keynotes and special sessions) include content in meeting handouts, have content placement in high profile sections of the event or organization’s websites and social media entities) and exhibition space.

The contractor shall demonstrate how it will plan, implement, integrate, and successfully provide each described service or task within the specified period of performance and according to the prescribed timeframe for deliverables.

2.3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
