OFCCP Compliance for Federal Construction Contractors: Affirmative Action Obligations Under Executive Order 11246

Federal construction contractors holding contracts at or above thresholds administered by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) must implement affirmative action for women and minorities, including meeting utilization goals for trade apprenticeships, hiring, and training. Audits are routine, the penalty for non-compliance can include debarment from federal contracts, and the construction-specific rules differ materially from supply/service contractor obligations.
