7/18/00
Non discrimination in Employment by
Federal Contractors and Subcontractors
It is the policy of the Federal government to secure goods and services through Federal
contracts in the most economical and efficient manner possible. Employment non-discrimination
directly promotes efficient performance and productivity. The Federal Government has a vital
interest in assuring that the largest pool of qualified workers be available for the fulfillment of its
procurement needs. When Federal contractors and subcontractors engage in discrimination
unrelated to work performance, the unavoidable consequence is a labor pool that excludes quality
workers, which in turn results in a serious adverse impact upon the economy and efficiency of
Federal Government procurement. In order to operate as effectively as possible, the Federal
Government must ensure that the entities with which it has contractual relations not discriminate
on the basis of sexual orientation.
Now therefore, to ensure the economical and efficient administration and completion of
Federal Government contracts, and the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution
and the laws of the United States of America, including 40 U.S.C. 486(a) and 3 U.S.C. 301, it is
hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. It is the policy of the Executive Branch to oppose all forms of discrimination,
including discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Section 2. It is the finding of the Executive Branch that discrimination on the basis of sexual
orientation interferes with the economical and efficient administration and completion of Federal
contracts and subcontracts.
Section 3. Federal agencies shall only contract with individuals and entities who do not engage
in discrimination in employment on the basis of sexual orientation.
Section 4. Within 120 days of the date of this order, the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council
shall amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation to require each solicitation of offers for a
contract to include a provision that:
(a) Prohibits non discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation by Federal contractors
and subcontracts.
(b) Requires Federal contractors and subcontractors to develop a policy of equal
employment opportunity under Federal contracts with respect to this Order. This policy
