Termination for convenience or cancellation.
Termination for convenience or cancellation. Termination for convenience or cancellation under appropriate contract clauses should be considered when the contractor presents a significant risk to the Government in completing a current contract and when such termination for convenience or cancellation is determined to be in the Government's best interests. In making this determination, the contracting officer should consider such factors as the
(1) Seriousness of the cause for debarment or suspension;
(2) Extent of contract performance;
(3) Potential costs to the Government;
(4) Urgency of the requirement and the impact of the delay; and/or
(5) Availability of other safeguards to protect the Government's interests.
