Agency Cannot Unilaterally Modify Contract to Delete Work Already Completed, ASBCA No. 60533, Appeal of HCS Inc.

Appeal of the agency’s unilateral reduction of the contract price is granted where despite minor changes to the scope of work, the contractor completed the work contemplated by the fixed-price contract, and where the agency had no authority to delete already-completed work from the contract and replace the fixed-price contract cost with an unsupported cost estimate completed after the work was done.
