United States Federal Circuit

In an appeal of the decision of the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals denying an appeal from the final decision of the contracting officer denying plaintiff an equitable adjustment to account for escalated fuel costs under a government contract, the Board's decision is affirmed where the Board did not err in denying the request for an equitable adjustment for increased fuel costs because the contract specifically states that plaintiff would purchase fuel "at the prevailing DoD rate at the time of purchase," and plaintiff was only charged that prevailing DoD rate for fuel, and does not contend otherwise.
