A Contracting Officer with delegated authority to administer the termination of a government contract, including negotiating and settling termination proposals, determining allowable costs, and resolving contractual issues arising from the termination. A TCO is typically appointed when the Government terminates a contract for convenience, although they may also have responsibilities in certain termination for default actions. Contractors should work closely with the TCO during the termination process to ensure timely submission of settlement proposals, proper documentation of costs, and compliance with applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements.
