Every compliance evaluation that the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) conducts begins with a scheduling letter. The letter notifies the contractor that it has been selected for an audit and identifies the contractor establishment to be audited. The letter is accompanied by an Itemized Listing of data to be submitted to OFCCP for review concerning the contractor's affirmative action compliance. The scheduling letter was last renewed in July of 2016, and it will remain in effect until June 30, 2019.

Courtesy copies of the scheduling letter may be forwarded to contractors via email. However, OFCCP must provide contractors with a copy of the letter via certified mail, return receipt requested. Contractors have 30 days from receipt of the certified letter to submit their response materials.
