ACTION REQUIRED: Complete Certification through the Contractor Portal by June 29, 2023
Today, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) opened the Contractor Portal for the 2023 Affirmative Action Program (AAP) certification period: March 31 - June 29, 2023. We urge covered federal contractors to begin certifying their AAP compliance through the portal today to meet the June 29, 2023 deadline.
Covered federal contractors and subcontractors must use the portal to certify, on an annual basis, whether they have developed and maintained an AAP for each establishment and/or functional/business unit, as applicable. New contractors have 120 days to develop their AAP(s) and must register and certify compliance through the Contractor Portal within 90 days of developing their AAP(s).
The Contractor Portal’s certification feature has been enhanced to record the AAP coverage period, and contractors will now provide the start date of their AAP compliance when certifying. Visit OFCCP’s Contractor Portal information page before starting the certification process to access Frequently Asked Questions and step-by-step How-To videos, along with User Guides and other pertinent information.
We have posted a pre-recorded webinar to the Contractor Portal information page that demonstrates how contractors can enter their establishment and/or functional/business unit’s AAP start date and certify compliance through the Contractor Portal.
Please submit your Contractor Portal questions to the Applications Technical help desk using the OFCCP Applications Technical Help Request Form or call the OFCCP help desk at 1-800-397-6251.
If you have not yet registered for the Contractor Portal, we urge you to do so as soon as possible. The Contractor Portal webinar OFCCP presented on March 31, 2022 provides information on registration.
