Exercising Contract Termination Clause Not a Breach of Implied Duty of Good Faith and Fair Dealing; PSBCA No. 6476, Char’s Hallmark Cards & Gifts Inc. v. United States Postal Service

Appeal of the agency’s termination of an agreement for the operation of a contract postal unit is denied, where the contract included a termination clause, which the agency properly exercised; where the agency’s award of a new contract for another vendor whose agreement had been terminated was not evidence the agency terminated the appellant’s contract in bad faith; and where the appellant cannot argue an employee union tortiously interfered with the contract by requiring its termination as part of a collective bargaining agreement, because the Postal Service also was a party to the CBA.
