What must a government contractor provide as a measure of non-compliance with the subcontracting plan?

A government contractor must provide liquidated damages as a measure of non-compliance with the subcontracting plan. This measure is intended to serve as a financial incentive for contractors to adhere to their subcontracting commitments. When a contractor does not meet the requirements outlined in their subcontracting plan, the government can impose liquidated damages to compensate for the potential impact of that non-compliance. This is especially important in maintaining compliance with regulations that promote small business participation in federal contracting.

The other options, such as a written apology, revised subcontractor list, or performance evaluation, do not fulfill the legal and financial implications associated with non-compliance. A written apology is insufficient as it does not address any financial repercussions or enforce compliance. Similarly, while providing a revised subcontractor list may be part of a contractor's corrective actions, it does not serve as a direct measure of the consequences related to non-compliance. A performance evaluation, while useful in assessing outcomes, does not result in a direct remedy for the non-compliance issue. Therefore, liquidated damages is the appropriate and enforceable response in this context.
