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

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.
