The Federal Trade Commission (``FTC'' or ``Commission'') currently has open files for contracts that have lapsed. The contract periods of performance for services and final delivery dates for goods have expired and the time allowed for contract file closeout is overdue. To clear the backlog of physically completed contracts (FAR 4.804) the FTC will utilize the procedure described below based on FAR 4.804-5 and 42.708 that will enable the Commission to close these files all at one time in an efficient and cost effective manner. No separate contract modifications will be issued.
