8.406-4 Termination for cause.8.406-4 Termination for cause.       (a)                                                         (1)                          								                An ordering activity contracting officer may terminate individual orders for cause. Termination for cause shall comply with FAR  12.403, and may include charging the contractor with excess costs resulting from repurchase.                                                            (2)                          								                The schedule contracting office shall be notified of all instances where an ordering activity contracting officer has terminated for cause an individual order to a Federal Supply Schedule contractor, or if fraud is suspected.                                                                             (b)                    						            If the contractor asserts that the failure was excusable, the ordering activity contracting officer shall follow the procedures at  8.406-6, as appropriate.                                          (c)                    						            If the contractor is charged excess costs, the following apply:                                                         (1)                          								                Any repurchase shall be made at as low a price as reasonable, considering the quality required by the Government, delivery requirement, and administrative expenses. Copies of all repurchase orders, except the copy furnished to the contractor or any other commercial concern, shall include the notation:                      Repurchase against the account of __________ [*insert contractor’s name*] under Order __________ [*insert number*] under Contract __________ [*insert number*].                                                            (2)                          								                When excess costs are anticipated, the ordering activity may withhold funds due the contractor as offset security. Ordering activities shall minimize excess costs to be charged against the contractor and collect or set-off any excess costs owed.                                                            (3)                          								                If an ordering activity is unable to collect excess repurchase costs, it shall notify the schedule contracting office after final payment to the contractor.

All reporting shall be in accordance with  42.1503(h).    **Parent topic:**  8.406 Ordering activity responsibilities.
