About this file
This document is a Memorandum from the National Park Service (NPS) Head of the Contracting Activity requesting a waiver/exception to the Department of the Interior's contract closeout policy (DOI-AAAP-0171, v1). NPS is seeking authorization to use an automated robotic process, "Bob the Closer Bot", to execute modifications and closeout a list of contractual actions and Inter/Intra Agency Agreements that meet specific parameters, including being awarded using simplified procedures, having a zero balance, an expired period of performance, and no prior closeout action.
The NPS proposes to post a special notice via SAM.gov for five days to notify vendors of the planned automated closeout of the attached list of actions. The signed request, along with the waiver approval, will serve as documentation to provide acquisition authority for the closeout. The related Federal Contract Opportunity ID is b8bffd7fed3b42529d529b3a420ef79c, Solicitation Number DOIPFBO240042, for "NPS Automated Closeout Actions".

Authorization for Closeout – Exception to DOI-AAAP-0171, v2
In an effort to streamline the closeout of actions meeting specific parameters, the National Park Service (NPS) is requesting a waiver/exception to DOI-AAAP-0171, v1 – Contract Closeout. NPS’ solution includes using the automated robotic process, aka “Bob the Closer Bot”, to execute modifications on behalf of the Contracting Officer while remaining in compliance with FAR 4.804.
The attached list of contractual actions and Inter/Intra Agency Agreements meet the parameters of being awarded using simplified procedures, a zero balance, an expired period of performance, and no close-out action has previously been released. In lieu of the considerations as listed on Attachment 2 of DOI-AAAP-0171, v1, NPS proposes to post a special notice via SAM.gov no later than April 19, 2024 for five days to notify vendors that the list of actions will be closed using an automated process.
This signed request, along with the waiver approval, will be used as documentation to provide acquisition authority for the closeout of the attached actions.
Elizabeth Walden McCabe Head of the Contracting Activity National Park Service
