In the case of highway or domestic inland water contracts, when the purchase⁄SCM team determines that it is in the best interest of the Postal Service, a supplier may be released from a contract if unable to perform adequately due to a disability, or when the supplier’s life or the public safety would be endangered by the supplier’s continued performance. Whenever practicable, a replacement contract should be awarded before the current supplier is released. The supplier must waive any indemnity as a condition of release. For other than highway or domestic inland water contracts, a supplier may be released only as provided in the terms of the contract.
