Government.

4.2 CONTRACT CLAUSES

4.2.1 The Government reserves the authority to place an upper limit, in the range of $250 thousand, on the amount of unaccomplished work that the Contractor shall and must pursue at any given time. The intent is to afford the

4.2.5.1 The Contractor may select a task order that he has mobilized on and request a work stoppage. The dollar amount of unaccomplished work left on the task order for work stoppage must be reasonably close to the total sum of contract work required for the emergency work order.
