Executive Summary: The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has issued a Directive officially establishing its five-year moratorium on enforcement of the affirmative action obligations of TRICARE subcontractors. The Directive states that within 30 business days of the effective date of the Directive (May 7, 2014), the OFCCP will administratively close any open compliance evaluations of TRICARE subcontractors affected by the moratorium.
