Agency Failed to Justify Default Termination, Relied on Biased, Untruthful Information; COFC No. 15-881C, Alutiiq Manufacturing Contractors LLC v. United States

The government’s termination for default of a construction services contract is converted to a termination for convenience, where the agency did not consider whether the contractor could complete the work by the contract delivery date or if the contractor could complete the work in less time than it would take the agency to identify and contract with a successor contractor.
