What consequence can contractors face for non-compliance with the First Source Hiring Program?

Contractors who fail to comply with the First Source Hiring Program can face enforcement actions and penalties. This program is designed to encourage the hiring of individuals from economically disadvantaged areas, ensuring that contractors engage with the local community and provide employment opportunities. If a contractor does not comply with the stipulated requirements of the program, they may be subject to various consequences such as fines, loss of future contracts, or corrective actions mandated by the governing authority. These enforcement mechanisms are in place to ensure that the objectives of the program are met, thereby fostering equitable hiring practices within the community.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the consequences of non-compliance. Increased contract funding and reduction in workforce are not typical reactions to non-compliance, and stating there are no consequences undermines the purpose of implementing such programs.
