ASBCA

The Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals is an independent tribunal that hears and decides contract disputes between government contractors and the Department of Defense, NASA, and other designated agencies. ASBCA provides an administrative forum for resolving contract disputes as an alternative to the Court of Federal Claims.

ASBCA proceedings follow established rules of procedure and allow contractors to appeal Contracting Officer final decisions. Understanding ASBCA processes helps contractors protect their rights in contract disputes and make informed decisions about dispute resolution forums. ASBCA decisions establish precedents affecting contract interpretation and administration.
