Expiration of Base Contract Period of Performance Does Not Relieve Contractor of Obligation to Complete Work on Fixed-Price Task Order; ASBCA No. 60896, Appeal of Securityhunter Inc.

Appeal of the contracting officer’s denial of a claim is denied, where the appellant asserted the government had delayed performance of the contract, but had not presented that claim to the CO, and where the expiration of the task order and base contract periods of performance did not relieve the contractor of its obligation to complete the work.
