HEJRAN HEJRAT CO. LTD, Appellant v. UNITED STATES ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, Appellee, 930 F.3d 1354

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-In a Contract Disputes Act (CDA) case, the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals erred when it dismissed contractor's case for lack of jurisdiction because the contractor's submission constituted a request for a final decision by the contracting officer (CO), and the COr's denial was a final decision on a claim and sufficient for jurisdiction under 41 U.S.C.S. § 7103; [2]-Regardless of whether it was termed a request for equitable adjustment (REA), the contractor's REA satisfied all the requirements listed for a CDA "claim" as it asked the CO to provide specific amounts of compensation for each of the alleged grounds and it included a sworn statement attesting to the truth of the submission. In response, where the CO issued a "final determination" on the matter, the requirements of the CDA were met.
