FAR 52.212.-12, SUSPENSION OF WORK (APR 1984)
(a) The Contracting Officer may order the Contractor, in writing, to
suspend, delay, or interrupt all or any part of the work of this contract
for the period of time that the Contracting Officer determines appropriate
for the convenience of the Government,
(b) If the performance of all or any part of the work is, for an
unreasonable period of time, suspended, delayed, or interrupted (1) by an
act of the Contracting Officer in the administration of this contract, or
(2) by the Contracting Officer's failure to act within the time specified
in this contract (or within a reasonable time if not specified), an
adjustment shall be made for any increase in the cost of performance of
this contract (excluding profit) necessarily caused by the unreasonable
suspension, delay, or interruption, and the contract modified in writing
accordingly. However, no adjustment shall be made under this clause for
any suspension, delay, or interruption to the extent that performance would
have been so suspended, delayed, or interrupted by any other cause,
including the fault or negligence of the Contractor, or for which an
equitable adjustment is provided for or excluded under any other term or
condition of this contract.
(c) A claim under this clause shall not be allowed (1) for any costs
incurred more than 20 days before the Contractor shall have notified the
Contracting Officer in writing of the act or failure to act involved (but
this requirement shall not apply as to a claim resulting from a suspension
order), and (2) unless the claim, in an amount stated, is asserted in
writing as soon as practicable after the termination of the suspension,
