The OFCCP is requiring contractors that have Functional Affirmative Action Program agreements are required to use the Contractor Portal.
Starting in 2022, federal contractors will need to provide certification of their AAPs to OFCCP via the AAP-VI portal. The OFCCP has developed a gradual schedule for contractors that guides them through the registration and ultimate certification of their AAPs.
The schedule for contractor registration and certification is as follows:
Existing Covered federal contractors are required to register by February 1, 2022
Certification Opens on March 31, 2022
Deadline to Certify is June 30, 2022
New covered federal contractors must develop an AAP within 120 days of entering a federal contract or subcontract and then certify it within 90 days of developing their AAP.
New contractors who have 120 days to develop their AAPs must register and certify compliance in the portal within 90 days of developing their AAPs.
Registration and annual certification will not exempt covered federal contractors and subcontractors from compliance evaluations.
The portal will also be the method by which contractors will upload their AAPs during scheduled compliance evaluations.
Please ensure that you have gone to https://contractorportal.dol.gov to register you and your company can create an account.
While we are here to write your affirmative action plan, AAPOnline will not be able to sign up you or your company. Please make sure you sign up at your earliest convenience.
