This notice, when delivered to the contractor or the contractor’s representative on site, shall be deemed sufficient notice of the non‐compliance and corrective action required. After receiving the notice, the contractor shall immediately take corrective action. If the contractor fails or refuses to promptly take corrective action, the contracting officer may issue an order suspending all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken.
