There is specific language found in the revised veteran and disability regulations. However, OFCCP has also issued several FAQs in this regard. The response to FAQ 38 for the revised veterans regulations (which has a parallel response in the disability FAQs) reads as follows: "Are federal contractors permitted to combine all of the Equal Opportunity (EO) clauses required by 41 CFR 60–300.5(a), 41 CFR 60–741.5(a), and 41 CFR 60–1.4(a) (or for construction contractors, 41 CFR 60–4.3(a)) into a single, consolidated “incorporation by reference” clause? Yes, contractors may combine all of their required EO clauses into a single “incorporation by reference” clause, provided that the entire combined clause is set in bold text and the prescribed content of the veteran and disability EO “incorporation by reference” clauses is preserved. The following example provides one illustration of how this might be done for a supply and service contractor: This contractor and subcontractor shall abide by the requirements of 41 CFR 60–1.4(a), 60–300.5(a) and 60–741.5(a). These regulations prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities, and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin. Moreover, these regulations require that covered prime contractors and subcontractors take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status." Note that the clause above must be in a bold font when used in purchase orders and contracts. As of today (April 24, 2018), federal contractors and subcontractors are also required to insert language related to Executive Order 13496 into contracts and purchase orders. There is no prescribed language in this regard, and the language does not need to appear in bold print. Here is one suggestion for this wording: "This contractor and subcontractor shall abide by all provisions of Executive Order 13496 and all relevant rules, regulations, and orders in regard to Executive Order 13496."
