PGI 222.1704 addresses which action when a contractor fails to comply with FAR 52.222-50?

• A. Termination for convenience
• B. Notifying Geographic Combatant Commander and the DOD CTIP program manager
• C. Increasing the contract price
• D. Public disclosure in a government procurement journal

Answer: (B)

When a contractor fails to meet the requirements of the trafficking in persons clause, the action addressed here is the formal notification pathway to coordinate DoD-wide oversight. PGI 222.1704 directs contracting officers to promptly inform the Geographic Combatant Commander and the DoD CTIP program manager. This creates a coordinated response across theater leadership and CTIP governance, enabling appropriate next steps such as investigations, suspensions, debarment, or other contract actions as needed.

Terminating for convenience, increasing the contract price, or publicly disclosing the noncompliance are not the specific reporting action outlined by PGI 222.1704; the emphasis is on notifying the designated high-level authorities to ensure consistent, centralized enforcement and accountability.
