McCarter & English - In recent months, federal contractors have seen an uptick in very specific types of contracting activity. As a result of various Executive Orders, and DOGE directives for agencies to conduct contract reviews and engage in mass contract cancellations, there has been a flurry of terminations for convenience, suspensions/stop-work orders, and contract modifications. Payments—even those undisputedly due and owing—have been delayed, and other EO- and DOGE-related impacts (as well as mass federal employee layoffs) have given rise to various claim issues. This article in The Government Contractor seeks to address those concerns and provide contractors with a guide on how to navigate recent challenges.
