Contract Closeout Tasks • Verifying that all required goods/services have been received and accepted • Verifying that all contractor invoices have been received and paid • Returning or disposing any buyer furnished property • Closing subcontracts by the seller • Agreeing that no claims, issues or unresolved matters exist • Obtaining final report of patents and royalties • Signing a formal notice of contract completion • De-obligating excess funds (federal contracting)
