less than the simplified acquisition threshold, shall contain the 

following provisions as applicable:

provision requiring compliance with E.O. 11246 (3 CFR, 1964-1965 Comp., 

p. 339), ``Equal Employment Opportunity,'' as amended by E.O. 11375 (3 

CFR, 1966-1970 Comp., p. 684), ``Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating

part 3, ``Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public 

Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United 

States''). The Act provides that each contractor or subrecipient shall 

be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the 

construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part 

of the compensation to which he is otherwise entitled. The recipient 

shall report all suspected or reported violations to the responsible DoD

(29 CFR part 5). Under Section 102 of the Act, each contractor shall be 

required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis 

of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work 

week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of 

not less than 1\1/2\ times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in 

excess of 40 hours in the work week. Section 107 of the Act is 

applicable to construction work and provides that no laborer or mechanic 

shall be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions 

which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not 

apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily 

available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or 

transmission of intelligence.

obtaining any Federal contract, grant or any other award covered by 31 

U.S.C. 1352. Each tier shall also disclose any lobbying with non-Federal 

funds that takes place in connection with obtaining any Federal award. 

Such disclosures are forwarded from tier to tier up to the recipient.
