Limitations Of Cost Notice Obligations Must Be Met
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 09.15.06
The ASBCA in International Technology Corp. (July 17, 2006), denied a claim for an upward adjustment above the contract's cost limitation because the contractor had inexcusably failed to comply with the Limitation of Cost clause provision requiring advance notice to the government of the projected costs over the limit. The board rejected the contractor's argument that it had to determine the allowability of its subcontractor's costs prior to providing notice, finding that notice is required when a contractor has “reason to believe” there will be a cost increase.

On July 6, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published an Interim Final Rule (IFR) setting up a new federal framework that allows state, local, Tribal, and territorial (SLTT) law enforcement and correctional agencies to detect, track, and, in some cases, disable or seize drones. The rule directly affects SLTT agencies looking to stand up counter-drone programs, as well as drone and counter-drone technology companies whose products will be subject to federal review and approval. Although the IFR bypassed the Administrative Procedure Act’s standard notice-and-comment process on good cause grounds — citing the statutory 180-day deadline and urgent public safety needs — the rule is already legally binding and effective as of July 1, 2026. The Departments are nonetheless accepting post-promulgation comments through September 4, 2026.
