program. This clause requires 

contractors, within 60 days after receipt 

of notice from the contracting officer of 

an anticipated termination or 

substantial reduction of a contract, to 

provide notice of the anticipated 

termination or substantial reduction to 

first-tier subcontractors with a

the notice requirement to lower-tier 

subcontractors with a subcontract value 

at $150,000 or more. The purpose of this 

requirement is to help establish benefit 

eligibility under the Workforce 

Innovation and Opportunity Act (29

contractors and subcontractors 

adversely affected by contract 

termination or substantial reductions 

under major defense programs.
