Should service continue through the end of this contract period, no modification will be issued to authorize discontinuance of service. The minimum service period shall be one month. Accordingly the U.S. Government may discontinue service, at no additional cost to U.S. Government. U.S. Government will provide Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP)

30 days notice prior to discontinuing service before the not to exceed period. Contractors shall consider the ability of the

Government to discontinue service with 30 days notice when determining the reasonableness of incurring any costs. See
