FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 249: Termination of Contracts › Subpart 249.70

DFARS 249.7001 Congressional notification on significant contract terminations.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This section requires congressional notification when a termination would reduce contractor employment by 100 or more employees. Proposed terminations must be cleared through department or agency liaison offices before the termination notice or any information about it is released to the contractor. It matters because it adds a required review step before a contractor can be told about certain large terminations.

Applies to: Contract terminations involving a reduction in employment of 100 or more contractor employees

What it requires

  • Clear proposed terminations through department/agency liaison offices before releasing the termination notice or any information on the proposed termination to the contractor
