The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is committed to nondiscrimination, both in its own employment practices and in the practices of the companies with which it does business. Agencies under the Governor’s jurisdiction are required to develop contract compliance programs to monitor the employment practices of contractors and grantees doing business with the Commonwealth.
State contractors, their subcontractors and grantees are required to comply with the non-discrimination clause in state contracts and grants. Required information is gathered on the standard contract compliance form STD-21, which is emailed to contractors/grantees upon award of the contract or grant.
For more information on the program, please click on the links below, click on the Frequently Asked Questions on the left navigational panel or contact the Contract Compliance Unit at 717-783-5034 or gs-bsbo@pa.gov. |

Under the Right to Know Law, effective January 1, 2009, records formerly presumed to be confidential are now presumed to be public records. Contractors and grantees are advised to identify and mark the contractor’s information that the contractor believes meets the definition of confidential proprietary information, so that it may be redacted from information provided to the public under the Right to Know Law. This applies to the STD-21, STD-25, STD-26 and STD-28, available below. For example, the STD-21 and STD-28 are considered public records and the other two are mixed records. The review/audit form could be redacted but the factual information would be public. From the detailed report from the contractor the employee names would be redacted, but the aggregate number of employees in a category would be public information. The Trade Secret Form can be downloaded from the forms section below to assist the contractor/grantee to identify confidential information. The Trade Secret Form should be submitted with the STD-26 or STD-28 when either is submitted or emailed to the CC staff identified on the confirmation screen when the STD-21 is submitted electronically.
