1A10 Preaward Compliance Evaluations

Under the regulations at 41 CFR 60-1.20(d), 60-1.29, 60-300.60(d), and 60-741.60(c) on preaward compliance evaluations, an agency is required to notify OFCCP and request a preaward evaluation before a nonconstruction contract or first tier subcontract of $10 million or more is awarded. Within 15 calendar days of the notice, OFCCP will inform the awarding agency of its intent to conduct a preaward compliance evaluation. If OFCCP informs the agency of its intent to conduct a preaward evaluation, OFCCP is allowed an additional 20 calendar days after that date to provide a conclusion relative to the contractor’s compliance.
