21. EEO COMPLIANCE REQUIRED.
A. Affirmative Action Compliance Programs: Contractor, within one hundred twenty (120) days from the
commencement of any subcontract in the amount of $50,000.00 or more, and if it is not otherwise exempt under 41
CFR Part 60-1, will develop for each of its establishments a written affirmative action compliance program as called
for in 41 CFR Section 60-1.40. Contractor will also require the same of its lower-tier subcontractors who have fifty
(50) or more employees and receive a subcontract of $50,000.00 or more and who are not otherwise exempt under
41 CFR Section 60-1.40.
B. Standard Form 100 (EEO-1): If Contractor has fifty (50) or more employees and the value of the

acceptance of the contract or purchase order, if not presently filed, complete and accurate reports on Standard Form
100 (EEO-1).
C. Equal Opportunity Clause: During the performance of the contract or purchase order, Contractor agrees
as follows:
(i) Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race,
religion, color, sex, or national origin. Contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are
employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, religion, color, sex or
national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following: recruitment or recruitment
advertising; employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of
compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous
places, available to employees and applicants for employment, applicable company, federal and state notices
setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
(ii) Contractor will, in all solicitation or advertisements for employees placed by or on its behalf, state that all
qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or
national origin.
(iii) Contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which it has a collective
bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice advising the labor union of workers’
representative of its commitments under Section 202 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, (as
currently amended), and shall post copies of notices in conspicuous places available to employees and
applicants for employment.
(iv) Contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965 (as currently
amended), and by the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
(v) Contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of September 24,
1965 (as currently amended), and by the rules, regulations, and order of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant
thereto, and will permit access to its books, records, and accounts by the contracting agency and the Secretary
of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
(vi) In the event of Contractor’s noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any
of such rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended, in whole or in part
and Contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts in accordance with procedures
authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of
Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.
(vii) Contractor will include the provisions of Sections (i) through (vii) in every subcontract or purchase order
unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to Section 204 of the
Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor
or vendor. Contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as a means of
enforcing such provisions including sanctions for noncompliance; provided, however, that in the event
Contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of
said direction, it may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United
States.
