Long Requested New Selection Methodology Also Finally Published
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has published the latest Corporate Scheduling Announcement List (CSAL) for construction contractors, which is comprised of 400 federal contractors, federally assisted contractors and subcontractors. After years and multiple requests from AGC of America, OFCCP has also finally released the methodology for developing the list as well as frequently asked questions (FAQs) where answers to other matters related to the topic are included.
The CSAL is a courtesy notification providing contractors at least 45-days advance notice to prepare for the compliance evaluation. OFCCP encourages contractors to take advantage of the suite of compliance assistance offerings and to contact their local field and regional offices for technical assistance in preparation for the evaluation. Additionally, federal contractors can visit the OFCCP website to find a list of virtual compliance assistance events. If a contractor believes they should not be selected for evaluation, they must send an email to the OFCCP Scheduling Mailbox at ofccp-dpo-scheduling@dol.gov. OFCCP claims it will respond to the inquiry promptly.
For AGC Affirmative Action/EEO resources, visit AGC’s Labor & HR Topical Resources library and select “EEO” as the main category and “Affirmative Action/EEO” as the subcategory. You must be logged in as an AGC member to access the materials. Also, don’t miss out on the upcoming 2021 HR & Training Conference where a timely repeat session titled, “OFCCP May Be Knocking on Your Door Sooner than You Think – Be Prepared” is one of the many valuable programs being offered.
