(f) Failure of the Contractor and the
Contracting Officer to agree that
technical direction is within the scope
of the contract shall be subject to the
terms of the clause entitled ‘‘Disputes.’’
■ 5. Add § 1052.222–70 to read as
follows:
1052.222–70
Inclusion.
Minority and Women
As prescribed in 1022.7000, insert the
following clause:
asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Minority and Women Inclusion (Jan 2016)
(a) Contractor confirms its commitment to
equal opportunity in employment and
contracting. To implement this commitment,
the Contractor shall ensure, to the maximum
extent possible consistent with applicable
law, the fair inclusion of minorities and
women in its workforce. The Contractor shall
insert the substance of this clause in all
subcontracts awarded under this contract
whose dollar value exceeds $150,000. Within
ten business days of a written request from
the Contracting Officer, or such longer time
as the Contracting Officer determines, and
without any additional consideration
required from the Agency, the Contractor
shall provide documentation, satisfactory to
the Agency, of the actions it (and as
applicable, its subcontractors) has
undertaken to demonstrate its good faith
effort to comply with the aforementioned
provisions. For purposes of this contract,
‘‘good faith effort’’ may include actions by
the Contractor intended to identify and, if
present, remove barriers to minority and
women employment or expansion of
employment opportunities for minorities and
women within its workforce. Efforts to
remove such barriers may include, but are
not limited to, recruiting minorities and
women, providing job-related training, or
other activity that could lead to those results.
(b) The documentation requested by the
Contracting Officer to demonstrate ‘‘good
faith effort’’ may include, but is not limited
to, one or more of the following—
(1) The total number of Contractor’s
employees, and the number of minority and
women employees, by race, ethnicity, and
gender (e.g., an EEO–1);

Jkt 238001
(2) A list of subcontract awards under the
contract that includes: Dollar amount, date of
award, and subcontractor’s race, ethnicity,
and/or gender ownership status;
(3) Information similar to that required in
paragraph (b)(1) of this clause, with respect
to each subcontractor; and/or
(4) The Contractor’s plan to ensure that
minorities and women have appropriate
opportunities to enter and advance within its
workforce, including outreach efforts.
(c) Consistent with Section 342(c)(3) of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act (Pub. L. 111–203)
(Dodd-Frank Act), a failure to demonstrate to
the Director of the Agency’s Office of
Minority and Women Inclusion such good
faith efforts to include minorities and women
in the Contractor’s workforce (and as
applicable, the workforce of its
subcontractors), may result in termination of
the contract for default, other contractual
remedies, or referral to the Office of Federal
Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP).
Compliance with this clause does not,
however, necessarily satisfy the requirements
of Executive Order 11246, as amended, nor
does it preclude OFCCP compliance
evaluations and/or enforcement actions
undertaken pursuant to that Executive Order.
(d) For purposes of this clause, the terms
‘‘minority,’’ ‘‘minority-owned business,’’ and
‘‘women-owned business’’ shall have the
meanings set forth in Section 342(g) of the
Dodd-Frank Act.

Senior Procurement Executive.
