52.222-24
Preaward On-Site Equal Opportunity Compliance Evaluation
Contracts and first-tier subcontracts of $10 million or more may require a preaward on-site equal opportunity compliance evaluation by OFCCP unless a compliant evaluation was completed in the past 24 months.
Overview
FAR 52.222-24 requires that, for contracts of $10 million or more, both the prospective contractor and any known first-tier subcontractors with anticipated subcontracts of $10 million or more may be subject to a preaward on-site equal opportunity compliance evaluation by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). This evaluation is to ensure compliance with Executive Order 11246, which prohibits federal contractors from discriminating in employment decisions. However, if the contractor or subcontractor has undergone an OFCCP evaluation within the past 24 months and was found compliant, a new evaluation is not required. This provision must be included in solicitations as prescribed by FAR 22.810(c).
