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 March 6, 2026, the General Services Administration (GSA) issued a significant proposed contract clause, GSAR 552.239-7001, Basic Safeguarding of Artificial Intelligence Systems (“Clause”), for inclusion in GSA Schedule solicitations and contracts for AI capabilities. The proposed clause would impose substantial new requirements related to AI sources, intellectual property rights, data use, change management, and performance standards. The Clause would also take precedence over any other contract terms (including commercial licensing terms) related to AI, including a Seller’s terms of sale and service to which the Government had previously agreed. GSA requests comments by March 20, 2026.
