Flow-Down of FAR 52.222-90 DEI Anti-Discrimination Compliance

The subcontract requires strict implementation and adherence to FAR 52.222-90, which prohibits any participation in racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. The subcontractor must ensure that this clause is not only followed internally but also flowed down to all lower-tier subcontractors and suppliers, establishing a comprehensive compliance chain throughout the entire supply chain. Enforcement of this requirement is mandatory, and failure to comply with the prohibition on racially discriminatory DEI practices may result in contract violation, termination, or other remedial actions. This contract is issued by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, classified under NAICS code 922150, and applies to all work performed under the subcontract. The subcontractor is responsible for maintaining documented evidence of compliance and ensuring that no part of their operations, including those conducted by downstream entities, engages in practices that constitute racial discrimination under the terms of the clause. The contract does not specify a place of performance or set-aside type, indicating it is broadly applicable across all locations where subcontracted work occurs, and compliance is expected regardless of geographic scope.
