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

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center (IBC), Acquisition Services Directorate (AQD) issued a Special Notice on April 27, 2026 regarding the closeout of multiple federal contracts. This notice serves as advance notification to vendors whose contracts are scheduled for closure in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 4.308. The affected contracts listed in the accompanying attachment have all reached the end of their periods of performance, are fully invoiced, and maintain zero remaining balances. The IBC plans to initiate unilateral contract closeout procedures ten business days following the posting of this announcement. This action applies to a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning various service categories and contractor types across the Department of Interior.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to provide advance notification to affected contractors and allow them an opportunity to request bilateral closeout modifications or present valid reasons for delaying the closeout process. Contractors identified in the contract list must contact the designated point of contact prior to the May 11, 2026 closing date if they wish to pursue a bilateral closeout modification or object to the unilateral closeout action. The closeout process will proceed unilaterally for all contractors who do not submit a response within the specified timeframe. The notice does not represent a new procurement opportunity but rather marks the administrative conclusion of existing contracts that have completed performance and full invoicing. Contractors listed in the attachment should review the document to verify their contract information and determine whether any action is required on their part before the mandatory deadline.
