Reminder
Complete Certification through the Contractor Portal by June 29, 2023
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) reminds covered federal contractors to certify their compliance with Affirmative Action Program (AAP) requirements through the Contractor Portal by the June 29, 2023, deadline.
Covered federal contractors and subcontractors must use the Contractor 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).
For this second annual certification cycle, contractors will also provide the start date of their AAP when certifying. We strongly recommend that contractors 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.
OFCCP has posted a pre-recorded webinar to the Contractor Portal information page that demonstrates how a contractor can enter its establishment and/or functional/business unit’s AAP start date and certify compliance through the Contractor Portal.
Existing contractors that have not certified by June 29, 2023, will be more likely to appear on OFCCP’s scheduling list than those that have certified their compliance with AAP requirements. Contractors that have not certified compliance include those that have not utilized the Contractor Portal to certify whether they are meeting their AAP requirements, as well as those that have certified that they have not developed or maintained an AAP.
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, please do so now. More information is available in the Contractor Portal Webinar OFCCP presented on March 31, 2022.
