Your
organization must comply with some or all federal affirmative action
regulations if:
1. Has a single federal contract, subcontract, or
federally assisted construction exceeding $10,000
2. Has multiple federal contracts or subcontracts
with a combined total exceeding $10,000 in any 12-month period
3. Has government bills of lading, serves as a
depository of Federal funds, or is an issuing and paying agent for U.S. savings
bonds and notes in any amount.
If
none of the above are applicable to your organization, you may still be subject
to federal affirmative action regulations if your organization shares ownership
with a federal contractor or subcontractor. A single entity is a business or organization that does not independently hold federal contracts/subcontracts, but is related to a business or organization that is a covered federal contractor. If you’re still not sure. Take the
single entity test.
Tips to check if you are a federal contractor:
- Check with your legal department or hire an outside firm to review your contracts.
- Check your contracts. Federal contracts include affirmative compliance language with Executive Order 11246, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, or the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment
Assistance Act (VEVRAA).
- Check the System for Award Management (SAM) website.
- Search the Federal Procurement Data System website.
- Search the OFCCP National Pre-Award Registry.
- Review your company’s most recent EEO-1 Report. Is the response to Section C Question 3 Yes?
