§ 1849.102-70 - Prior clearance of significant contract terminations.
-
(a) Congressional notification is required for any termination involving a reduction in employment of 100 or more contractor employees. Proposed terminations must be cleared through the Headquarters Office of Legislative Affairs (Code LB) before release of the termination notice, or any information on the proposed termination, to the contractor. Proposed terminations expected to result in a reduction of fewer than 100 should be similarly cleared if the installation believes it to be significant.
(b) The contracting officer shall submit the following information to Code LB, and a copy to the Office of Procurement (Code HS), as soon as possible after the decision to terminate is made. Until clearance is obtained, this information shall be treated as “For Official Use Only” unless the information is classified.
(1) Contract number.
(2) Date of award.
(3) Type of award.
(4) Name of company.
(5) Nature of contract or end item.
(6) Reasons for the termination.
(7) Contract price of items terminated.
(8) Total number of contractor employees involved, including the Government's estimate of the number that may be discharged.
(9) Anticipated impact on the company and the community.
(10) Name of the community affected.
(11) Area labor category.
(12) Whether contractor is large or small business.
(13) Any known impact on disadvantaged employment programs.
(14) Total number of subcontractors involved and the impact in this area, if known.
(15) Unclassified draft of suggested press release.
(c) To minimize termination costs, Code LB shall act promptly on the request and provide a response not later than two working days after receipt of the information in paragraph (b) of this section.
