effective December 13, 1977, as amended (D.C. Law 2-38; D.C. Official Code § 2-1401.01

places, available to employees and applicants for employment, a notice setting forth the
provisions of this non-discrimination clause as provided in section 251 of the Act.
(a) Pursuant to Mayor’s Order 85-85, (6/10/85), Mayor’s Order 2002-175 (10/23/02), Mayor’s
Order 2011-155 (9/9/11) and the rules of the Office of Human Rights, Chapter 11 of Title 4
of the D.C. Municipal Regulations, the following clauses apply to the contract:
(1) The Contractor shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for
employment because of actual or perceived: race, color, religion, national
origin, sex, age, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation,
gender identity or expression, family responsibilities, genetic information,
disability, matriculation, political affiliation, or credit information. Sexual
harassment is a form of sex discrimination which is prohibited by the Act.
In addition, harassment based on any of the above protected categories is
prohibited by the Act.
(2) The Contractor agrees to take affirmative action to ensure that applicants
are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without
regard to their actual or perceived: race, color, religion, national origin, sex,
age, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity
or expression, family responsibilities, genetic information, disability,
matriculation, political affiliation, or credit information. The affirmative
action shall include, but not be limited to the following:
(a) employment, upgrading or transfer;
(b) recruitment, or recruitment advertising;
(c) demotion, layoff or termination;
(d) rates of pay, or other forms of compensation; and
(e) selection for training and apprenticeship.
(3) The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees
and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the contracting
agency, setting forth the provisions in paragraphs 19(b)(1) and (b)(2)
concerning non-discrimination and affirmative action.
(4) The Contractor shall, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees
placed by or on behalf of the Contractor, state that all qualified applicants
will receive consideration for employment pursuant to the non-
discrimination requirements set forth in paragraph 19(b)(2).
(5) The Contractor agrees to send to each labor union or representative of
workers with which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other
contract or understanding, a notice to be provided by the contracting
agency, advising the said labor union or workers’ representative of that
contractor’s commitments under this nondiscrimination clause and the Act,

and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to
employees and applicants for employment.
(6) The Contractor agrees to permit access to its books, records, and accounts
pertaining to its employment practices, by the Chief Procurement Officer or
designee, or the Director of the Office of Human Rights or designee, for
purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with the Act, and to
require under terms of any subcontractor agreement each subcontractor to
permit access of such subcontractors’ books, records, and accounts for such
purposes.
(7) The Contractor agrees to comply with the provisions of the Act and with all
guidelines for equal employment opportunity applicable in the District
adopted by the Director of the Office of Human Rights, or any authorized
official.
(8) The Contractor shall include in every subcontract the equal opportunity
clauses, i.e., paragraphs 19(b)(1) through (b)(9) of this clause, so that such
provisions shall be binding upon each subcontractor.
(9) The Contractor shall take such action with respect to any subcontract as the CO
may direct as a means of enforcing these provisions, including sanctions for
noncompliance; provided, however, that in the event the Contractor becomes
involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a
result of such direction by the contracting agency, the Contractor may request the
District to enter into such litigation to protect the interest of the District.
