In addition to debarment, failure to comply with federal government contracting requirements can result in awards of back pay and reinstatement of terminated employees, suspension or cancellation of existing federal contracts, and even recommendations for civil actions by the EEOC or Justice Department or criminal actions by the Justice Department.
