The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs has reopened its contractor portal and is asking federal contractors to voluntarily submit confirmation that they have wound down their Executive Order 11246 affirmative action programs (AAPs). OFCCP Director Catherine Eschbach issued a letter to federal contractors requesting them to voluntarily upload — by September 25, 2025 — information regarding their efforts to wind down compliance with the E.O. 11246 regulatory scheme.
Contractors could confirm that they have reviewed their prior E.O. 11246 affirmative action efforts and made any appropriate changes to their employment or recruitment practices consistent with E.O. 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity. Such changes could include, for example, discontinuing the use of race- or sex-based placement goals.
Contractors may email their updates to OFCCP-ContractorPortal@dol.gov or upload them through the newly reopened contractor portal. Upon logging in, users will find that all prior data has been removed. A new freeform text box under the “My Company” module allows them to submit new information.
