Government agencies have the ability to terminate their contracts for convenience (“T for C”), or for default (“T for D”).  While a T for C does not imply that there was any fault on the part of the contractor, T for D means the government believes that the contractor failed to perform in accordance with the provisions of the contract. This distinction has other important implications as well. If terminated for convenience, a contractor can seek payment for the work done, and for any preparations made for the terminated portion of the contract. In contrast, if defaulted, it is possible that a contractor will actually owe the government money in connection with re-procurement. Getting terminated for default can also negatively impact a contractor’s ability to get future contracts. This webinar will cover the ins and outs of terminations. Learn all about T for Cs, the response process, and seeking compensation. Learn also about T for Ds, how to challenge them, how to convert them to T for Cs, and how to deal with re-procurement claims.
