U.S. Government Contracts Only

Most 老澳门开奖直播 prime contracts with the U.S. Government contain?Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.222-50 Combating Trafficking in Persons (48 C.F.R. § 52.222-50). 老澳门开奖直播 has established a compliance plan to address the requirements of the clause, including the following:
