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

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center (IBC), specifically its Acquisition Services Directorate (AQD), has issued a Special Notice regarding the administrative closeout of multiple expired contracts. This announcement, posted on February 23, 2026, notifies vendors of the government's intention to formally close contracts that have completed their periods of performance in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 4.804. The affected contracts have been fully invoiced with zero remaining balances, making them eligible for closeout procedures. This Special Notice serves as advance notification to all vendors identified in the attached contract list of the upcoming closure action. The notice applies to contracts under the All Other Business Support Services category (NAICS 561499).

Contractors identified on the contract list have until March 9, 2026, to submit objections or requests for modifications to the standard unilateral closeout process. The government intends to initiate unilateral contract closeout ten business days following the posting of this announcement unless vendors elect bilateral closeout modifications or provide valid justification to prevent the closeout action. Vendors who wish to contest the closeout or negotiate a bilateral modification must contact the point of contact listed in the announcement prior to the March 9, 2026 deadline. This notice does not represent a new contracting opportunity but rather an administrative action affecting vendors with existing, completed contracts. The detailed list of contracts subject to closeout is available in the attached PDF file, which vendors should consult to determine if their contracts are affected by this action.
