COSTAR III, LLC appealed the denial of three claims related to a base operating services contract, seeking reconsideration based on alleged superior knowledge and service level disputes. The Board affirmed its previous decisions, denying the appeals.

Material Facts

  • COSTAR alleged that the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 led to increased supply and labor costs due to a population increase at the Patuxent Naval Air Station.
  • The Board found no record evidence supporting COSTAR's allegations of population increases.
  • COSTAR claimed it began performing twice-a-day cleaning services based on tenant complaints but did not provide specific evidence of direction from the contracting officer.
  • COSTAR contended that the Navy added custodial services for five buildings requiring a higher level of service, but the modifications were bilaterally executed.
