Utilizing OFCCP Pre-Award Registry to Check for Audit Closures

While attending a recent ILG meeting, Biddle Consulting Group participated in a discussion about the National Pre-Award Registry found on the OFCCP website. The registry allows companies to search for audits that were closed and the contractor was found to be in compliance. In the link below, there is a search function at the bottom where users can type in a company name and if they have any closed audits within the last two years they will be listed. This can be a handy tool for Federal Contractors since audit status is sometimes unknown. Be aware that not all audits appear on this list. For example, administrative closures and audits that are closed because there are no initial indicators of problem areas MAY NOT appear on the list because the associated closure letter indicates that the audit was closed BUT that the contractor was not issued a letter of compliance.

This Registry can be viewed in one of two formats:

There is a search function that allows users to search the Registry (in ascending or descending order) using the Name of the Contractor Facility; and
Users can download the entire Registry (about 1 Mb) to their computer. Once downloaded, this information can then be imported into any word processor, spreadsheet, or database software package.
