What Happens When a Contractor Files for Bankruptcy?
It doesn’t happen frequently but contractor bankruptcy happens often enough to warrant a special contract clause that appears in every contract above the simplified acquisition threshold (currently set at $150 thousand). The Bankruptcy clause is found at FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulations) 52.242-13. and requires contractors entering into proceedings relating to bankruptcy, whether voluntary or involuntary, to furnish by certified mail (or electronic commerce method authorized by contract), written notification to the contracting officer responsible for administering the contract.

Court of Federal Claims Rejects Unsupported Decision to Cancel Solicitation – SmallGovCon
An agency ordinarily enjoys very broad discretion in its procurement-related decisions. This includes whether an agency will award a contract or, instead, cancel a procurement. Broad as this discretion is, however, an agency does not have carte blanche authority to cancel a procurement on a whim. As a recent Court of Federal Claims decision shows, an agency must support its decision with sufficient information, lest the cancellation decision itself be successfully protested.

Keeping It In the Family
The Justice Department issued a press release yesterday announcing the sentencing of a father and son duo for several contracting related frauds. The father was sentenced to nearly six years in prison while the son sentenced to 12 months. In addition, the two agreed to pay $3.2 million in restitution to the Government and to clients they had stolen from. In sentencing, the Judge told the father that it appeared that he’d made a life out of lying and cheating. And it does appear that history supports the Judge’s observation.
