This is a Mandatory Affirmative Action Exhibit B Language document for the Stafford Township Cooperative Pricing System contract opportunity in New Jersey. The document establishes affirmative action requirements and language that must be included in all contracts and purchase orders exceeding $25,000. The exhibit specifies mandatory contractor obligations regarding equal employment opportunity compliance, including non-discrimination provisions in hiring, promotion, compensation, job training, and other terms and conditions of employment. Contractors are required to maintain and implement written affirmative action programs that demonstrate good faith efforts to recruit, hire, train, and promote individuals from protected classes, including minorities, women, and persons with disabilities.

The document outlines reporting and verification requirements, including submission of evidence of implementation of the affirmative action program upon request by the State. Contractors must provide certifications of compliance with all applicable affirmative action laws and regulations, and failure to comply may result in contract sanctions, including suspension or termination. The language applies to all subcontractors and vendors engaged in the performance of the contract, creating cascading compliance obligations throughout the supply chain. This exhibit represents standard New Jersey procurement language designed to ensure non-discriminatory procurement practices and equal opportunity employment across all state and local contracts involving the Stafford Township Cooperative Pricing System.
