Section C - Description/Specifications/Work Statement

C.1 Background

A. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is authorized by statute to use the services of State and Local

Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs) to assist it in meeting its statutory mandate to enforce Title VII of the Civil

Rights Act of 1964, as amended (Title VII); the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967, as amended; the

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, as amended; and, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) of

2008. The EEOC also recognizes the need to ensure the employment rights of individuals granted by Federal, State, and

Local anti-discrimination laws.

B. As part of the Congressional mandate, the EEOC is required to establish an integrated system for a more expeditious

resolution of employment discrimination charges. The EEOC has entered into a partnership with the FEPA, herein referred to

as the Contractor, for continuous development and enhancement of this system.

C.2 Scope of Work

A. The Contractor agrees to work with the EEOC in the maintenance and enhancement of a national, integrated employment

discrimination law enforcement and charge resolution system by accomplishing various objectives that include, but are not

limited to, the following:

1. Implementation by the Contractor of procedures that provide for professional intake of all charges the FEPA initially

receives, prompt notification to respondents, resolution of charges on a current basis, determinations supported by evidence,

and resolutions with remedies;

2. The training of Contractor personnel in charge processing procedures compatible with those of the EEOC, on an as

needed basis;

DocuSign Envelope ID: C54D8278-1A92-4614-9DA4-DD1EB2DD5616
45310021C0044 

Page 6 of 19

3. Use by the Contractor of an employment discrimination charge form that, within statutory limitations, is acceptable

to the EEOC and the Contractor;

4. Use by the Contractor of processing terminology (such as common language pertaining to types of resolutions)

that is the same as or compatible with that used by the EEOC;

5. The development and maintenance of a system to ensure that the EEOC and the Contractor maintain compatible

procedural and substantive standards;

6. The identification by the Contractor and the EEOC of legislative changes that may be appropriate for the

establishment of integrated and efficient charge processing systems; and

7. Use of an effective case management system, and as applicable, adherence to a Charge Resolution Plan that:

a. enhances quality and efficiency in the Contractor's charge resolution systems;

b. establishes annual charge resolution objectives and provides mechanisms for fixing accountability and

measuring progress toward those objectives; 

c. develops procedures and processes designed to reduce inventories of dual- filed charges that will ensure

maintenance of a charge inventory of less than 365 days; and

d. ensures that quality standards are met and are commensurate with the EEOC's policies and statutory

responsibilities.

B. When an agreement on the above requirements is reached between the Contractor and the EEOC, it must be included

as part of the executed Worksharing Agreement. The effective date of the Worksharing Agreement will run concurrently with

the effective date of this contract. Upon execution, the Worksharing Agreement dated 10/08/2020, is incorporated by

reference into this contract.

C. The Contractor and EEOC, as a condition to the maintenance of this contract, shall approve the Worksharing

Agreement. Once the Contractor or the EEOC has been designated to process the charge, only the designated party will

process the charge. The other party shall refrain from processing the charge pending completion by the initial processor to

preclude duplication of effort.

D. The Contractor shall:

1. Implement in partnership with the EEOC, a system that permits each party to perform various functions on behalf of

the other, for example, accepting charges for each other, within the statutory limitations; and

2. Commit itself to maintenance of effort. Should the Contractor or the governmental body that provides its funds (a)

reduce the Contractor's resources in anticipation of or as a result of the EEOC contract funds, (b) place restrictions on the use 

of its funds, or (c) revise the Contractor's operating procedures or regulations that impact on its ability to perform under its

contract, the EEOC may consider it to be a material breach of this contract and may, among other things, reduce its funding of 

this contract or require the return of all or a portion of the funds provided by the EEOC under this contract.

E. It is understood and expressly agreed to by both parties to this contract that all provisions of the EEOC's Contracting

Principles for State and Local FEPA for Fiscal Year 2021 are incorporated in their entirety into this contract.

C.3 Statement of Work

Processing of Charges - Title VII Charges, and/or ADEA Charges (if applicable), ADA Charges and/or GINA Charges (if

applicable):

A. The Contractor shall submit charges to the EEOC for contract credit including, but not limited to, no cause findings,

successful settlements, successful conciliations, administrative resolutions, final orders issued following and pursuant to

administrative hearings and litigation. The EEOC shall not award any contract credit for resolutions by the Contractor based

DocuSign Envelope ID: C54D8278-1A92-4614-9DA4-DD1EB2DD5616
45310021C0044

Page 7 of 19

on no jurisdiction (except in cases where an investigation is actually required to determine jurisdiction) or resolutions based

on the charging party's failure to establish a bona fide charge.

September 30, 2021 as follows:

B. All charges submitted for credit under this contract shall be completed by the Contractor between October 1, 2020 and

1. All charges will be evaluated, and determinations made in accordance with the theories of discrimination

inemployment as developed under Title VII, the ADEA, ADA and the GINA, as appropriate.

2. Investigation and resolution of individual charges pursuant to this contract shall be conducted in a manner designed

to effectuate relief for the charging party and shall be carried out as expeditiously as possible.

3. All final actions, litigation, and intake services for which payment is requested under this contract will be processed

and awarded contract credit in compliance with the State and Local Handbook and the Worksharing Agreement.

4. Contract credit submissions will include final dispositions of charges (i.e. final actions). When administrative appeal

rights exist, the final disposition of a charge occurs only after the time for appeal has expired or the appeal has been

processed to completion. In cases where the administrative appeal has been processed, the date of the notice of the final

result of the appeal is the operative date. This applies in all cases where an administrative appeal is provided, whether the

case is administratively resolved, dismissed, decided, or when no cause is found. The fifteen-day period during which a

Substantial Weight Review may be requested and/or the period during which a Substantial Weight Review is conducted is not

considered for the purposes of computing the operative date of the final disposition of a charge.

5. Contract credit submissions that are not final dispositions will include:

a. Charges to be litigated by the Contractor where the EEOC receives copies of the complaints bearing

confirmation of the filing dates with the Court, or other appropriate official confirmation of the filing dates of the complaints;

b. Certain types of charges that must be transferred to the EEOC that are not final actions by the Contractor, as

specified in the State and Local Handbook and;

c. Intake services by the Contractor where the EEOC accepts for processing a charge initially filed outside the

jurisdiction of the Contractor, or any other FEPA, and for which the Contractor has prepared all charge intake documentation,

including a complete affidavit, as required by the EEOC. In addition, contract credit for intake services will be given when the

EEOC accepts for processing a charge initially filed with but not jurisdictional with the Contractor and the Contracting Officer's 

Representative (COR) determines and justifies that there is a need to service charging parties who live at great distances from

an EEOC or FEPA office.

6. Charge resolutions submitted for contract credit pursuant to this contract will be identified by the Contractor by

timely and accurate data entries on the EEOC IMS or any successor system, if applicable. Where the Contractor is not on the

EEOC IMS or any successor system, charge resolutions submitted for credit pursuant to this contract will be designated in a

monthly status report from the Contractor to the COR.

7. All charges will be processed by the Contractor in accordance with the Contractor's applicable State or Local Laws.

8. Contract credit will not be allowed for any charge subject to a processing fee. If such a fee is imposed or

implemented during the period of the contract, the contract may be terminated in accordance with Clause 52.249-4,

Termination for Convenience of the Government (Services) (Short Form).

9. The Contractor shall preserve all case files and records relevant to all charges or actions until final disposition of

such charges or actions by the Contractor and the EEOC and other federal authorities including federal courts.

Section D - Packaging and Marking

Charge/case file material and reports to be furnished to the designated field office may be through the regular U.S. mail

and should be adequately packaged to assure safe delivery to the designated office or via electronic transmission.

Section E - Inspection and Acceptance Terms

A. Inspection and Acceptance shall be made by the COR. Inspection and acceptance shall be made pursuant to the

standards set forth in the EEOC's Compliance Manual, and applicable section(s) of the State and Local Handbook.

B. The COR will ensure that the Contractor maintains performance that is consistent with the criteria and requirements

contained herein, as well as in the Substantial Weight Review Procedures and Worksharing Agreements. The EEOC District

Office will conduct an on-site evaluation of the investigative and administrative charge processing procedures of the

Contractor as needed. Accordingly, the Contractor is expected to comply with reasonable requests for providing and/or

making available information concerning various aspects of their processes and procedures as they relate to or impact on 

themanagement and disposition of the dual-filed inventory. Such information includes but is not limited to staffing 

information, case management printouts, charge processing documentation, and any other material and data as may be 

related and/or apply to the processing of dual-filed charges or administration of the contract.

H.2 CONTRACT ADJUSTMENTS

A. The COR will review production on a quarterly basis. The Contractor is expected to produce approximately 1/4 of the

total charge resolutions required under the contract each quarter. If the annualized linear production of the Contractor's actual

production at any time indicates that the Contractor is producing at a rate that would not meet the number of charge

resolutions required under the contract, the government may unilaterally modify the contract price and the total number of

charge resolutions (downward adjustments) to reflect the annualized charge production projection.

B. The government has the unilateral option to increase the number of contracted charge resolutions and/or intake

services (upward adjustments), based on the actual or projected production of charge resolutions and intake services.

this contract shall be released by the Contractor except as authorized in accordance with the Confidentiality Provisions set

forth at paragraph H.1 above.

H.4 INDEMNIFICATION

The Contractor shall indemnify the Government, its officers, agents, employees and assignees, for all claims of any nature

arising out of the performance of this contract, including costs and expenses resulting from such claims.

H.8 PRIVACY ACT

This contract requires the collection, creation and maintenance of records that are subject to the Privacy Act of 1974. See

the Privacy Act Notification Clause and the Privacy Act Clause incorporated into this contract in Section I. The records

compiled, created and maintained pursuant to this contract are included in the EEOC's Privacy Act System EEOC-3, "Title VII,

Americans with Disabilities Act, and Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act Discrimination Case Files," or Privacy Act

System EEOC-1, "Age and Equal Pay Discrimination Case Files." The contents and operation of these systems are described

in Federal Register Notice, "Privacy Act of 1974; Publication of Notices of Systems of Records and Proposed New Systems of

Records", dated November 17, 2016, and included in Section J of this contract. The EEOC's Privacy Act regulations, at 29

CFR, Part 1611 are hereby incorporated by reference.

H.9 CHARGE DATA SYSTEM - DATABASE

The Contractor is expected to reconcile its database with the EEOC's database as necessary and appropriate. If

significant discrepancies occur and cannot be eliminated through a routine reconciliation,

the EEOC may request a hard inventory of the Contractor's charge inventory. Such hard inventory must be conducted in

accordance with guidelines prescribed by the EEOC.

H.10 FEPA ENGAGEMENT FUNDING

To be eligible to invoice for the funding, in the amount of $1,000, the Contractor must submit to the Contracting Officer

Representative prior to September 30, 2021, a written proposal detailing a joint enforcement, joint outreach or joint training

activity with the EEOC District Office which (1) identifies and supports a specific priority contained in either EEOC's Strategic

Enforcement Plan or the District Office's Complement Plan, (2) contains sufficient details and a certification that the FEPA is

willing and able to perform the actions it proposes to perform, and (3) the EEOC finds to be feasible and acceptable.

H.11 Information Security Related to Use of EEOC's Integrated Mission System (IMS) OR Successor System

FEPA Directors are responsible for authorizing IMS or successor system account creation and determining the appropriate

level of system access to provide each user by employing the concept of least privilege - providing the minimal level of access

required to perform their job functions. When determining the appropriate level of access for a user, the FEPA Director must

consider the status of the user's government background investigation (whether completed or in-process). Depending on the

business need and sensitivity of the data, it may be appropriate to limit/restrict a user's system access until the background

investigation is completed.

FEPA Directors must ensure that, upon a user's separation, IMS or successor system access is removed and system

accounts are disabled as of the close-of-business on the employee's separation date.

Inactive accounts (accounts that have not been logged in within 30 days) will be disabled by the EEOC.

A certification of system accounts by each FEPA Director must be performed annually. During this review a list of active

system users will be forwarded to the FEPA Director for their review. Each FEPA Director or their designee must review the

account listing to ensure that all individuals listed for each system have the need and the proper level of access for each

system. Any modifications or deletions must be forwarded by the Director to EEOC for action and the Director must then

certify the accuracy of the report. This process has been automated to be accessed, reviewed, and certified from within the

IMS system or a process developed with the successor system.

Users must access IMS or successor system from workstations that are compliant with the security and privacy policy

requirements of their state/local government oversight bodies. At a minimum, workstations must include anti-virus protection

that is updated on a regular basis.
