Thank you

Are KO obligated to tell contractors formally if the contract is cancelled, terminated or not excercised?

I am a federal contractor and am principal small business. I have been contracting with the US Government since 2009. A few issues have arisen and frankly are beyond my knowledge how to address. Non-personal commercial contract. · US Army Reserve Command, grounds maintenance at a Missouri facility. Award was made March 2016 for the base year and four option years. The base and option year one were exercised. Option two, three and four were not exercised. The facility underwent a major physical change during the non-performance period (December through March) of option year one with fencing added and topography changed for the site, (parking lot added-different equipment would have been needed to maintain the new areas due to slope and grade). I emailed the KO that changes had been made to the facility and advised a modification would have to be made on three separate occasions during the mowing season. I gave the contracting officer a price for the changes to the facility but the KO refused to negotiate an equitable change to the contract. I was told by a third party that the COR, who evidentially wields a lot of authority, told the contracting officer to cancel the contract. I have yet to be given notice that the contract was cancelled for convenience or any other reason. I only know the option was not extended as I bid the contract through FedBid. Fedbid shows the option was not extended. In this instance, the COR determined I needed to do a lot of extra work which was not part of the original contract. I refused without an equitable price adjustment and the contract was cancelled. The three option years remaining totaled $40,768.65. What are my options here? The contracting officers are aware of all of these issues. I even made an IG complaint which was passed along to a line level supervisor to handle.
