Government contracts (and modifications thereof if not included in the original contract): During
the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows: (1) The contractor will not
discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion,
sex, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are
employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color,
religion, sex, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following:
Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or
termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including
apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and
applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the contracting officer setting forth the
provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
(2) The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on
behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for
employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
(3) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has
a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided by
the agency contracting officer, advising the labor union or workers' representative of the
contractor's commitments under section 202 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965,
and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants
for employment.
(4) The contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24,
1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
(5) The contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246
of September 24, 1965, and by the rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or
pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his 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.
(6) In the event of the contractor's non-compliance 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 the contractor may be declared ineligible for
further Government contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order
11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked
as provided 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.
(7) the contractor will include the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (7) in every subcontract
or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor
issued pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such
provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The contractor will take such
action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as may be directed by the Secretary of
Labor as a means of enforcing such provisions including sanctions for noncompliance: Provided,
however, that in the event the contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation
with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction, the contractor may request the
United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
