Concepts Communications Awarded Five-Year Contract with Labor Department

BETHESDA, Md., March 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Last week, Concepts Communications was awarded a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to support the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) in planning and executing multiple current and future strategic outreach initiatives.

"At Concepts Communications, we pride ourselves on 'communicating for good,' and we could not be more pleased to have the opportunity to put our skills and experience to work in support of ODEP's mission," said company President Karen Herson. "We look forward to continued partnership with the agency as it works to promote an inclusive pandemic recovery and strengthen understanding of disability as a key dimension of workforce diversity."

Specific contracts in the BPA include four initiatives that Concepts Communications has managed for a number of years including Strategic Communications and Outreach for the agency, the Campaign for Disability Employment (CDE), ePolicyWorks and the State Exchange on Employment & Disability (SEED). Through these initiatives, Concepts Communications has produced award-winning multi-media and print materials addressing a wide range of ODEP's policy priorities, and for the latter, it brings to the agency partnerships with sixteen intermediary organizations representing state and local policymakers.

"Stakeholder collaboration is at the heart of our current work supporting ODEP, and we look forward to continuing it under this new BPA," Herson said.
