Close or Cancel a Capital Project PTA

This page provides instructions for initiating the closeout or cancellation of a capital project PTA (project, task and award). A capital project is a long-term, capital-intensive investment project in which the cost is capitalized and depreciated. For information about closing other types of PTAs (e.g., non-sponsored, sponsored projects, or service centers), see the PTA Close Requirements and Contacts section of Topic Overview: Close PTAs.

Close or Cancel a Capital Project PTA

  • To closeout a capital project PTA, the capital project must already be in service and all open purchase orders and work orders must be closed.
  • To cancel a capital project PTA, all open purchase orders and work orders must be closed.
