United States Federal Circuit

Under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), 8.406-6, only the General Services Administration (GSA) contracting officer may resolve disputes that, in whole or in part, involve the interpretation of disputed schedule contract provisions, and because plaintiff's termination compensation claim under the Contracts Dispute Act turns on such a dispute: 1) it must be submitted to the GSA contracting officer; 2) the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) has no jurisdiction; and therefore 3) dismissal by the ASBCA for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction was proper.
