CDA Statute of limitations

Appeal of — McDonnell Douglas Services, Inc., ASBCA No. 56568, December 02, 2009.

Air Force contract. Appellant appeals the CO’s defective pricing claims.

The ASBCA dismisses “the appeal without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction under the CDA because the government’s defective pricing claim is time-barred.” In an opinion by Judge Cheryl Scott the Board rejects the “suggestion to the effect that we should interpret the CDA’s six-year limitations period more liberally when a government claim is involved than when a contractor’s claim is involved. Limitations principles generally apply to the government in the same way that they apply to private parties.”
