conditions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor.

(11) The Contractor shall take such action with respect to any subcontract or
purchase order as the contracting officer may direct as a means of enforcing
these terms and conditions, including sanctions for noncompliance; provided,
that if the Contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation
with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of any direction, the Contractor may
request the United States to enter into the litigation to protect the interests
of the United States.

(c) Notwithstanding any other clause in this contract, disputes relative to this

and positions lasting 3 days or less. This term includes full-time employment,
temporary employment of more than 3 days duration, and part-time employment.

Executive and top management means any employee—

(5) Who does not devote more than 20 percent or, in the case of an employee of a
retail or service establishment, who does not devote more than 40 percent of
total hours of work in the work week to activities that are not directly and

through (4) of this definition. This paragraph (5) does not apply in the case of

apply to a particular opening once an employer decides to consider applicants
outside of its organization.

satisfies the requisite skill, experience, education, and other job-related
requirements of the employment position such veteran holds or desires, and who,
with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of

(1) A veteran who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of
military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered
by the Department of Veterans Affairs for a disability—

(i) Rated at 30 percent or more; or

(ii) Rated at 10 or 20 percent in the case of a veteran who has been determined
under 38 U.S.C. 3106 to have a serious employment handicap (i.e., a significant
impairment of the veteran’s ability to prepare for, obtain, or retain employment
consistent with the veteran’s abilities, aptitudes, and interests); or

(2) A person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a
service-connected disability.

Veteran of the Vietnam era means a person who—

(1) Served on active duty for a period of more than 180 days and was discharged
or released from active duty with other than a dishonorable discharge, if any
part of such active duty occurred-

(i) In the Republic of Vietnam between February 28, 1961, and May 7, 1975; or

(ii) Between August 5, 1964, and May 7, 1975, in all other cases;

(ii) Between August 5, 1964, and May 7, 1975, in all other cases.

(b) General. (1) The Contractor shall not discriminate against the individual
because the individual is the special disabled veteran, a veteran of the Vietnam
era, or other eligible veteran, regarding any position for which the employee or
applicant for employment is qualified. The Contractor shall take affirmative

programs; and

(ix) Any other term, condition, or privilege of employment.

(2) The Contractor shall comply with the rules, regulations, and relevant orders
of the Secretary of Labor issued under the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment
Assistance Act of 1972 (the Act), as amended (38 U.S.C. 4211 and 4212).

(c) Listing openings. (1) The Contractor shall immediately list all employment
openings that exist at the time of the execution of this contract and those
which occur during the performance of this contract, including those not
generated by this contract, and including those occurring at an establishment of
the Contractor other than the one where the contract is being performed, but
excluding those of independently operated corporate affiliates, at an
appropriated local public employment service office of the State wherein the
opening occurs. Listing employment openings with the U.S. Department of Labor’s
America’s Job Bank shall satisfy the requirement to list jobs with the local
employment service office.

(2) The Contractor shall make the listing of employment openings with the local
employment service office at least concurrently with using any other recruitment
source or effort and shall involve the normal obligations of placing a bona fide
job order, including accepting referrals of veterans and nonveterans. This
listing of employment openings does not require hiring any particular job
applicant of hiring from any particular group of job applicants and is not
intended to relieve the Contractor from any requirements of Executive orders or
regulations concerning nondiscrimination in employment.

(3) Whenever the Contractor becomes contractually bound to the listing terms of
this clause, it shall advise the State public employment agency in each State
where it has establishments of the name and location of each hiring location in
the State. As long as the Contractor is contractually bound to these terms and
has so advised the State agency, it need not advise the State agency of
subsequent contracts. The Contractor may advise the State agency when it is no
longer bound by this contract clause.

(d) Applicability. This clause does not apply to the listing of employment
openings that occur and are filled outside the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Virgin Islands of the United States,
and Wake Island.

(e) Postings. (1) The Contractor shall post employment notices in conspicuous
places that are available to employees and applicants for employment.

(2) The employment notices shall—

(i) State the rights of applicants and employees as well as the Contractor’s
obligation under the law to take affirmative action to employ and advance in
employment qualified employees and applicants who are special disabled veterans,
veterans of the Vietnam era, and other eligible veterans; and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(ii) Be in a form prescribed by the Deputy Assistance Secretary for Federal
Contract Compliance Programs, Department of Labor (Deputy Assistant Secretary of
Labor), and proved by or through the Contracting Officer.

(3) The Contractor shall ensure that applicants or employees who are special
disabled veterans are informed of the contents of the notice (e.g., the
Contractor may have the notice read to a visually disabled veteran, or may lower
the posted notice so that it can be read by a person in a wheelchair).

(4) The Contractor shall notify each labor union or representative of workers
with which it has a collective bargaining agreement, or other contract
understanding, that the Contractor is bound by the terms of the Act and is
committed to take affirmative action to employ, and advance in employment,
qualified special disabled veterans, veterans of the Vietnam era, and other
eligible veterans.

(f) Noncompliance. If the Contractor does not comply with the requirements of
this clause, the Government may take appropriate actions under the rules,
regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to
the Act.

(g) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall insert the terms of this clause in all
subcontracts or purchase orders of $25,000 or more unless exempted by rules,
regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor. The Contractor shall act as
specified by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor to enforce the terms,
including action for noncompliance.

(End of clause)

other than fuel for producing heat or power by combustion.

of materials or products (including packaging) to reduce their amount or

generated through waste prevention, recycling, or purchasing recycled and
environmentally preferable products.

(b) Consistent with the requirements of Section 701 of Executive Order 13101,
the Contractor shall establish a program to promote cost-effective waste
reduction in all operations and facilities covered by this contract. The
Contractor’s programs shall comply with applicable Federal, State, and local
requirements, specifically including Section 6002 of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. 6962, et seq.) and implementing regulations (40 CFR
part 247).

(End of clause)

contract.
