Contractors must begin certifying through the OFCCP's Contractor Portal attesting to their compliance with OFCCP affirmative action requirements.
OutSolve reported in February 2022, that The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) would require contractors to begin certifying their Affirmative Action Program (AAP). The deadline to certify through OFCCP’s Contractor Portal is June 30, 2022. Covered federal contractors must use the Contractor Portal to certify, on an annual basis, whether they have developed and maintained an AAP for each establishment and/or functional unit, as applicable. New contractors have 120 days to develop their AAP(s), and must register and certify compliance through the Contractor Portal within 90 days of developing their AAP(s).
We strongly recommend that you visit OFCCP’s Contractor Portal information page before starting this process where you can access “Frequently Asked Questions” and step-by-step “How-To” videos, along with user guides and other pertinent information regarding the certification process.
For contractors seeking additional guidance, OutSolve can also assist you with your registration and certification process. Click here for more information, or contact us at info@outsolve.com.
