About this file
This file is FAR Clause 52.222-90, which addresses racial discrimination prohibitions in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) activities by federal contractors. The clause defines "racially discriminatory DEI activities" as disparate treatment based on race or ethnicity in recruitment, employment, contracting, program participation, or resource allocation. Contractors are prohibited from engaging in such activities and must furnish information and records to the Contracting Officer upon request to demonstrate compliance. Noncompliance may result in contract cancellation, termination, suspension, or debarment from future government contracts. Contractors must report known or reasonably knowable subcontractor violations to the Contracting Officer and take appropriate remedial actions. The clause applies to all subcontracts at any tier, including those for commercial products and services, except where performance occurs outside the United States.
This clause was incorporated into the VA Medical Coding Services solicitation (36C24126Q0465) as required by Executive Order 14298.
