Rule 50-5046 - CONTRACT TERMINATION

5046.1

All contracts awarded by the Contracting Officer shall include "Termination for Default" and "Termination for Convenience" clauses specifically defining OAG's termination rights.

5046.2

When exercising OAG's rights under a termination clause in the contract, the Contracting Officer shall provide the contractor with a written notice specifying:

(a) Whether the termination is for default or for convenience;

(b) The effective date of the termination;

(c) The extent of the termination if the termination is partial; and

(d) Any special instructions that apply to the termination (for example, instructions concerning the disposition of contract inventory).

5046.3

Unless a settlement can be reached beforehand, after terminating a contract for convenience, the Contracting Officer shall request a settlement proposal from the contractor and shall attempt to negotiate a settlement that resolves all of the parties' rights and liabilities (except those arising from any portion of the contract still in effect). If the parties negotiate a settlement, the Contracting Officer shall prepare a memorandum describing the principal elements of the settlement and shall include the memorandum in the contract file. If the parties fail to negotiate a settlement within one year from the effective date of termination, the contracting officer shall make a final determination of settlement.
