53.249 - Termination of contracts | FAR Navigator

53.249

Termination of contracts

FAR 53.249 mandates the use of specific standard forms for contract terminations to ensure proper documentation and compliance with settlement and inventory requirements.

Overview

FAR 53.249 prescribes the specific forms that must be used in connection with the termination of contracts, as detailed in FAR Subpart 49.6. These forms are essential for documenting settlement proposals, payment requests, and inventory disposal related to contract terminations. The section lists each required form, its purpose, and references the relevant FAR subsections for further guidance. All forms are available through the GSA Forms Library, and most can be locally reproduced except for SF 1034. The regulation also mandates the use of inventory disposal forms (SF 1428 and SF 1429) to support settlement proposals, ensuring standardized documentation and compliance during the contract termination process.

Key Rules

Prescribed Forms for Termination
- Specific forms (SF 1034, SF 1435-1440) must be used for settlement proposals, payment, and accounting when terminating contracts.
Inventory Disposal Documentation
- SF 1428 and SF 1429 are required to support settlement proposals involving inventory disposal.
Form Availability and Reproduction
- All forms are available at the GSA Forms Library; all except SF 1034 may be locally reproduced.

Responsibilities

Contracting Officers: Ensure the correct forms are used and submitted as required for contract terminations.
Contractors: Complete and submit the appropriate forms for settlement proposals, payments, and inventory disposal.
Agencies: Oversee compliance with form usage and maintain records as specified.

Practical Implications

Contractors must be familiar with the required forms and their purposes to avoid delays in settlement.
Common pitfalls include using outdated forms or failing to submit required inventory documentation, which can delay the termination process.
