The Office of Federal Contractor Compliance Programs ("OFCCP") has announced though Directive 2018-06 (the "Directive") the development of a Contractor Recognition Program, which aims to "recognize contractors with high-quality and high-performing compliance programs and initiatives." The Contractor Recognition Program arises out of feedback the OFCCP received from the contracting community in 2017 and 2018.
While the Contractor Recognition Program is still under development, the Directive provides some indication as to what contractors can expect. The Directive states that the OFCCP is currently developing "a contractor recognition program that highlights implementable best or model contractor practices, a contractor mentoring program that uses contractors to help their peers improve compliance, and other initiatives that provide opportunities for contractors to collaborate or provide feedback to OFCCP on its compliance assistance efforts."
