CBCA

Civilian Board of Contract Appeals

Definition

The Civilian Board of Contract Appeals is an independent tribunal that decides contract disputes between government contractors and civilian executive agencies. CBCA provides an administrative forum for resolving contract disputes as an alternative to the Court of Federal Claims.

CBCA handles disputes from agencies including GSA, VA, DHS, and other civilian departments. Understanding CBCA jurisdiction and procedures helps contractors protect their rights in contract disputes and select appropriate forums. CBCA decisions establish precedents affecting contract interpretation across civilian agencies.
