The COR will notify the Contracting Officer of unacceptable performance. If any of the services do not conform to contract requirements, the Government may require the contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in contract amount. When the defect(s) in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may:

a. Require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure future performance conforms to contract requirements.

b. Reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed.

c. If the Contractor fails to promptly re-perform the services, or to take the necessary action to ensure future performance in conformity with contract requirements, the Government may:

i. By contract or otherwise, perform the services and charge to the Contractor any cost incurred by the Government that is directly related to the performance of such service;

ii. Issue Cure Notice;

iii. Terminate the contract for Government convenience; and/or

iv. Terminate the contract for Cause.

6.4 Correction of Non-Performance of Work. Contractor shall employ an adequate quantity of personnel to ensure that any area found to be not in compliance and therefore not acceptable, shall be made acceptable by the performance or re-performance of the work, where such re-performance is possible, during the first business day after noncompliance has been observed by or reported to and verified by the COR.
