Regional offices of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs have received the first list of supply and service contractor establishments for scheduling of compliance evaluations from October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009.

The list includes approximately 5000 facilities that have either self-identified as being an establishment of a Federal contractor, or have been identified as such by OFCCP. OFCCP generated this list through its Federal Contractor Selection System using multiple information sources and analytical procedures to select contractors for evaluation, including a mathematical model that ranks Federal contractor establishments based on an indicator of potential workplace discrimination.

The list excludes, among others, establishments that are currently undergoing a compliance evaluation, were evaluated within the last 24 months, or have received the Secretary of Labor's Opportunity Award or an Exemplary Voluntary Efforts Award within the last three years. Additionally, Federal contractor establishments covered by Functional Affirmative Action Program agreements with OFCCP and those subject to a Corporate Management Compliance Evaluation are selected for evaluation through a separate process.

OFCCP has mailed a Corporate Scheduling Announcement Letter to the Chief Executive Officer or designated point of contact of each parent company.
