Attachment J.4 - Non-Discrimination.pdf

This is a Non-Discrimination clause template (Attachment J.4) that establishes employment and contracting compliance requirements for federal contracts.

The clause prohibits employment discrimination by contractors based on race, religion, color, sex, or national origin, with limited exceptions for bona fide occupational qualifications related to religion, sex, or national origin when reasonably necessary for normal operations. The contractor must post nondiscrimination notices in conspicuous places accessible to employees and applicants. All employee solicitations and advertisements placed by or on behalf of the contractor must identify the contractor as an equal opportunity employer. Notices, advertisements, and solicitations meeting federal law, rule, or regulation requirements are deemed sufficient to satisfy this clause's requirements.

The contractor is required to include these nondiscrimination provisions in all subcontracts and purchase orders valued over $10,000.00, making the provisions binding on each subcontractor and vendor. The clause applies to all federal contracts exceeding $10,000.00 and requires the contractor to sign and identify their company name on the document.
