The Disputes Process Sample Clauses

The Disputes Process. The Disputes clause (FAR 52.233-1) invokes the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (CDA), which governs the processing of claims under DOD contracts. Should the CO reject a claim in whole, or in part, he/she is required to issue a written “final decision” to that effect. The contractor’s choice at that point is to either accept the CO’s decision, or to challenge it by way of a formal appeal. In either case, the contractor must generally continue with contract performance. The appeal may be made to the Board of Contract Appeals (BCA) or to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (COFC). Timing is critical, as a Notice of Appeal to a BCA must be filed within 90 days of receipt of the CO’s final decision. An appeal may also be filed with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (COFC) within one year of filing a Complaint. The Company does not take lightly the decision to file an appeal. In fact, the Company’s current policy is to strongly avoid appeals by resolving disputes informally at their earliest convenience. Moreover, when confronted with irreconcilable dispute, the Company will always pursue alternative dispute resolution as an alternative to formal appeals. It is the Company’s policy to weigh its decision very carefully at this juncture, and at the highest management level, before pursuing an appeal under the Disputes clause. Legal advice will be sought and the express approval of the President & CEO will be required.
