ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
availability on the Department of
Justice’s website of an updated report
regarding the legal and evidentiary
frameworks that justify the continued
use of race or sex, in appropriate
circumstances, by federal agencies to
remedy the current and lingering effects
of past discrimination in federal
contracting programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A
substantial body of evidence, both
quantitative and qualitative,
demonstrates the continued
pervasiveness of discriminatory barriers
that impede the full and fair
participation of businesses owned by
women and people of color in
government contracting. The nature and
breadth of the evidence discussed in the
report updates and expands on prior
reports—in 1996 and 2010—and
supports the compelling interest in the
continued use of federal programs that
contain remedial measures to eliminate
discriminatory barriers to contracting
opportunities for businesses owned by
women and people of color. See
Adarand v. Constructors, Inc. v. Pena,
515 U.S. 200 (1995).
Section I of the report provides an
overview of the legal landscape
surrounding constitutional challenges to
the use of race and sex in contracting
programs that are subject to strict and
intermediate scrutiny, including a
discussion of some recent cases
challenging various federal and state
contracting programs. Section II reviews
a substantial body of statistical evidence
published in the last decade, which
demonstrates the existence of significant
disparities in the amount of public
contracting dollars going to businesses
owned by women and people of color as
compared to their availability for such
contracts. Section III explores the
various ways that discriminatory

barriers can limit access to contracting
markets, resulting in the statistical
disparities identified in Section II.
These include race and sex
discrimination by procurement agencies
and prime contractors, whether overt or
subtle; exclusion from business
networks crucial to making the
connections necessary to learn about
and compete effectively for contracting
opportunities; and discrimination by
bonding companies and suppliers.
Section IV discusses stark disparities in
the formation and success of businesses
owned by women and people of color as
compared to other businesses. Section V
addresses discriminatory barriers that
impose significant burdens on
businesses owned by women and
people of color—affecting both their
ability to access capital to form and
grow businesses in the first instance as
well as their ability to compete
effectively for contracts. Finally, Section
VI addresses how the economic
downturn that began in 2020 as a result
of the COVID–19 pandemic has
disproportionately affected businesses
owned by women and people of color.
Evidence discussed in the report is
listed in the three appendices.
Appendix A identifies congressional
hearings from 2010 to 2021 that address
challenges facing business owned by
women and people of color. Appendix
B identifies dozens of disparity studies
published between 2010 and 2021.
Appendix C identifies additional
studies and documentation pertaining to
the issues discussed in the report.
