DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

[Docket No. CRT 142] 

Notice of Report on Lawful Uses of 

Race or Sex in Federal Contracting 

Programs 

AGENCY: Civil Rights Division, 

Department of Justice. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability on the Department of 

Justice’s website of an updated report 

regarding the legal and evidentiary 

frameworks that justify the continued 

use of race or sex, in appropriate 

circumstances, by federal agencies to 

remedy the current and lingering effects 

of past discrimination in federal 

contracting programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A 

substantial body of evidence, both 

quantitative and qualitative, 

demonstrates the continued 

pervasiveness of discriminatory barriers 

that impede the full and fair 

participation of businesses owned by 

women and people of color in 

government contracting. The nature and 

breadth of the evidence discussed in the 

report updates and expands on prior 

reports—in 1996 and 2010—and 

supports the compelling interest in the 

continued use of federal programs that 

contain remedial measures to eliminate 

discriminatory barriers to contracting 

opportunities for businesses owned by 

women and people of color. See 

Adarand v. Constructors, Inc. v. Pena, 

515 U.S. 200 (1995). 

Section I of the report provides an 

overview of the legal landscape 

surrounding constitutional challenges to 

the use of race and sex in contracting 

programs that are subject to strict and 

intermediate scrutiny, including a 

discussion of some recent cases 

challenging various federal and state 

contracting programs. Section II reviews 

a substantial body of statistical evidence 

published in the last decade, which 

demonstrates the existence of significant 

disparities in the amount of public 

contracting dollars going to businesses 

owned by women and people of color as 

compared to their availability for such 

contracts. Section III explores the 

various ways that discriminatory 

barriers can limit access to contracting 

markets, resulting in the statistical 

disparities identified in Section II. 

These include race and sex 

discrimination by procurement agencies 

and prime contractors, whether overt or 

subtle; exclusion from business 

networks crucial to making the 

connections necessary to learn about 

and compete effectively for contracting 

opportunities; and discrimination by 

bonding companies and suppliers. 

Section IV discusses stark disparities in 

the formation and success of businesses 

owned by women and people of color as 

compared to other businesses. Section V 

addresses discriminatory barriers that 

impose significant burdens on 

businesses owned by women and 

people of color—affecting both their 

ability to access capital to form and 

grow businesses in the first instance as 

well as their ability to compete 

effectively for contracts. Finally, Section 

VI addresses how the economic 

downturn that began in 2020 as a result 

of the COVID–19 pandemic has 

disproportionately affected businesses 

owned by women and people of color. 

Evidence discussed in the report is 

listed in the three appendices. 

Appendix A identifies congressional 

hearings from 2010 to 2021 that address 

challenges facing business owned by 

women and people of color. Appendix 

B identifies dozens of disparity studies 

published between 2010 and 2021. 

Appendix C identifies additional 

studies and documentation pertaining to 

the issues discussed in the report.

Department of Justice’s website at:
