Common use of Executive Order 11246 Clause in Contracts

Executive Order 11246. The bid and contract language required under E.O. 11246 depends on the dollar amount of the contract. Certain language is required for contracts/subcontracts of $10,000 or less. Other language is required if the contract/subcontract exceeds $10,000. Note especially the Notice of Requirements for Affirmative Action which must be included and which requires the insertion of minority and female goals. The female goal applies nationwide while the minority goal is specifically determined for each county. As amended this order provides that no person shall be discriminated against, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin in any place of employment during the performance of federally-assisted construction contracts.
