Notice Regarding Dept. of the Interior, IBC, AQD to close contracts.

The Department of the Interior, through its Interior Business Center (IBC), Acquisition Services Directorate (AQD), has published a Special Notice announcing the planned closeout of multiple federal contracts. This notice, posted on November 18, 2025, serves as advance notification to vendors whose contracts are subject to administrative closure procedures. The contracts listed in the accompanying attachment have completed their periods of performance, are fully invoiced, and maintain zero remaining balances. The agency will proceed with unilateral contract closeout actions in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 4.804 unless vendors submit objections or requests for bilateral closeout modifications. The Special Notice represents a routine administrative action to formally close out contracts that have concluded all performance obligations and financial transactions.

The objective of this Special Notice is to provide affected contractors with an opportunity to request bilateral closeout modifications or present valid reasons why the unilateral closeout should not proceed before the agency initiates formal closeout procedures. Contractors have until December 3, 2025, to contact the point of contact identified in the announcement if they wish to contest the closeout or negotiate alternative closure terms. Unilateral closeout will commence ten business days following the posting of this announcement for any vendors who do not submit timely objections or modification requests. All 18 contracts identified in the attachment are Firm Fixed Price arrangements, Time and Materials contracts, or Order Dependent contracts with performance periods that concluded between April and September 2025. Eligibility to participate is limited to the contractors specifically named on the contract closeout list, and only those vendors may submit requests to modify the closeout process.
