Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in 9 fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through 7p). The 10 efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or 11 other similar group of which the Contractor is a member and participant, may be 12 asserted as fulfilling any one or more of the obligations under 7a through 7p of this I 13 Special Provision provided that the Contractor actively participates in the group, 14 makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the 15 employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensure that the concrete 16 benefits of the program are reflected in the Contractor's minority and female work- 17 force participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and 18 timetables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrate the 19 effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the Contractor. The obligation to 20 comply, however, is the Contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an 21 obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor's noncompliance. 22 23 9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been 24 established. The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment 25 opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and 26 female, and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently, the 27 Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is 28 employed in substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the 29 Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in 30 violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is 31 underutilized). 32 33 10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action 34 standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, 35 or national origin. 36 37 11. The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm 38 debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246. 39 40 12.

Any 45 Contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation 46 of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended. 47 48 13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall 111 49 implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those 50 standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of this Special Provision, so as to achieve 51 maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity.
