The  US NARA General Records Schedules (www.archives.gov) say 6 years
plus three months (unless they've changed it lately.)

Good day All!

I have read that a reasonable amount of time to retain contracts (ex: 
service agreements, vendor contracts...) would be until they expire and
then add 6 years, the logic being that most lawsuits would happen within
that time frame.  Do any of you happen to know of a specific citation
for this...
