Fast Track Close Outs
Is your backlog of contract closeouts growing?
Bogged down with old contracts at the same time you are trying to generate new ones?


Leverage our experience in effectively closing contracts and other award instruments in accordance with FAR standards. Closeout backlogs can result in costly administrative expenses, raise "red flags" with the IG and GAO, and make for unhappy contractors. On a positive note, you'll receive the remaining contract balances once your completed contracts are closed. To help, our closeout experts review your current efforts against applicable FAR requirements and government best practices to report on actions needed to accelerate and complete your close-outs. Plus, we'll help you put some "Close-out Processes" in place to prevent future backlogs.

Our Policy RX keeps employees apprised of the rules as well as the differences between various interagency vehicles and authorities. We include management controls to ensure vehicles are used correctly and to help maximize the effectiveness of interagency transactions and cross-servicing contracts. We also recommend changes and draft policy suggestions to comply with OMB's latest guidance.

We'll deliver recommendations for program improvements to reduce risk and unnecessary vulnerabilities.
