The deadline to certify compliance with the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program’s (OFCCP) affirmative action program requirements at OFCCP’s Contractor Portal was June 29, 2023. OFCCP commended the federal contractors and subcontractors that registered and certified their AAP compliance by the deadline.
On July 30, 2023, OFCCP released an announcement that the agency will consider a contractor’s registration and/or certification timely if the contractor has a pending request for assistance as of June 29, 2023. The Contractor Portal Technical Help Desk is currently addressing open help desk tickets. Contractors with pending assistance requests should expect their registration and/or certification needs to be met as the Contractor Portal Technical Help Desk continues to address pending help desk tickets. Contractors should maintain documentation of their correspondence with the Contractor Portal technical help desk.
The Contractor Portal is still open and OFCCP has stated that contractors that have not registered and certified do so as soon as possible. The OFCCP Contractor Portal technical help desk is still open and available to provide assistance where needed.
DCI will continue keeping its clients and the contractor community apprised as more information regarding the Contractor Portal becomes available. DCI clients should also monitor their emails for additional Contractor Portal resources.
