On September 7, 2018, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs (OFCCP) mailed Corporate Scheduling Announcement Letters
(CSALs) to 750 contractor and subcontractor establishments. OFCCP
sends CSALs to service and supply contractors as a courtesy to let
them know that one or more of their establishments may be scheduled
for a compliance evaluation.
Receipt of a CSAL does not mean that a contractor's
establishment has been scheduled for an audit. A contractor must
receive a scheduling letter before one or more of its
establishments are audited, but a CSAL is typically a precursor to
the contractor receiving a scheduling letter.
OFCCP said that it will send scheduling letters within 45 days
of issuing this round of CSALs, which will be on or about October
22, 2018. Contractors have 30 days from the date they receive a
scheduling letter to provide OFCCP their affirmative action plans
(AAPs) and other items requested in the itemized listing attached
to the
