Government Not Allowed to Bypass Termination for Convenience by Modifying Period of Performance; CBCA 5517, Dream Management Inc. v. Department of Homeland Security

Appeal of the contracting officer’s denial of claims related to costs incurred performing a language services contract is granted in part, where the agency’s execution of a modification to alter the period of performance amounted to a termination for convenience, and therefore the contractor was entitled to recover its reasonable costs; and denied in part, where the appellant failed to provide sufficient documentation for certain costs related to contract performance and its attempts to resolve its claims.
