E2ProCon Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 FAR Case 98-607, Final Rule 12-18-98, increased EEO Preaward Clearance from $1M to $10M. Background information in the rule stated: "The DoL rule increased, from $1 million to $10 million, the threshold for obtaining preaward compliance clearance from OFCCP, and amended administrative procedures for obtaining such clearances; eliminated the requirement for OFCCP clearance of subcontracts after award of the prime contract; and eliminated the requirement to obtain a certification of nonsegregated facilities from prospective contractors." I'm interested in the statement "eliminated the requirement for OFCCP clearance of subcontracts after award of the prime contract." This seems to say that if a contractor proposal to the government includes a proposed subcontract valued at sat $12M, the CO would get preaward clearance for that subcontractor prior to awarding the prime contract, but if the prime contractor identified another subcontract valued at say $15M after award of the prime contract, that the prime contractor does not need to request a preaward EEO clearance. Is that correct? I thought a prime contractor that intended to award a subcontract (non-construction) over the preaward clearance threshold during performance of a prime contract was required to request EEO preaward clearance.

If so, which subparagraph is it that is questionable to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
