A “claim” according to FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) 2.101 is a written demand or written assertion by one of the contracting parties (could be the contractor or the Government) seeking, as a matter of right, the payment of money in a sum certain, the adjustment or interpretation of contract terms, or other relief arising under or relating to the contract. Further, a written demand or written assertion by the contractor seeking payment of money exceeding $100 thousand is not a claim unless certified.
