ASBCA Compels Contracting Officer to Issue Final Decision | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update

PNWC's Government Contracting Update

When a contracting officer receives a certified claim over $100 thousand, the Contracts Disputes Act (CDA) requires that within sixty days of receipt of the claim, the contracting officer shall either issue a decision or notify the contractor of the time within which a decision would be issued. The CDA also requires that the contracting officer’s decision shall be issued within a reasonable time, taking into account such factors as the size and complexity of the claim and the adequacy of information in support of the claim provided by the contractor. If a contractor believes that the contracting officer is taking unreasonable time, the contractor can petition the court (including the ASBCA or Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals) to direct the contracting officer to issue a decision in a specified period of time as determined by the Board.

in Blog by

Last year, Byron Callan was among the first to seriously examine what a President Trump would mean for Wall Street and the investment community.

The Capital Alpha analyst opened his Dec. 13, 2015, note like this: “We don’t expect Donald Trump will be the next President. However we have some thoughts regarding defense if we are wrong.” The gist: we don’t know much about Trump’s defense plan other than some broad themes.

Whoa! DoD Wants to Eliminates an Acronym | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update

PNWC's Government Contracting Update

Last week, DoD issued a final rule amending its FAR Supplement (DFARS or DoD FAR Supplement) to eliminate the acronym “CONUS” and replace it with a spelled-out version.

CONUS stands for “Contiguous United States” and means the 48 contiguous states plus the District of Columbia. Seems that a lot of people mistook the definition to mean “Continental United States” which would also include Alaska.
