(a) To determine whether the contract meets the threshold in FAR 22.805(a), contracting officers shall include the value of the basic contract plus priced options. A contract modification exercising a priced option is not a contract award under FAR 22.805(a)(1)(ii) and does not require a preaward clearance.
(b) Contracting officers shall submit preaward clearance requests directly to the appropriate OFCCP regional office. A list of these offices can be found at http://www.dol.gov/esa/contacts/ofccp/ofcpkeyp.htm.
(c) The EEO poster required by FAR 22.805(b) can be found at: http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/posters/pdf/eeopost.pdf. In addition to providing this poster to each non-exempt contractor, the contracting officer shall advise contractors to complete the Employer Information Report (EEO-1) at http://www.eeoc.gov/eeo1survey/index.html.
