Denied / Government PrevailedContract Interpretation

The Life Eye Company appealed the denial of its claim for payment of invoices under a maintenance services contract with the government, which the Board ultimately denied.

Material Facts

  • Life Eye entered into Contract No. W91GFC-07-M-0754 with the government to provide maintenance services for one year.
  • The contract required Life Eye to furnish maintenance service for a total price of $9,000, paid monthly at $750.
  • Life Eye submitted Invoice No. 331 for $9,000, but it lacked the required government acceptance documentation.
  • Life Eye provided invoices from Future Company, its purported subcontractor, but these did not establish entitlement due to lack of privity.
  • Life Eye submitted Invoice No. 0094 for the same services but failed to provide credible documentation.
  • The contracting officer denied payment for Invoice Nos. 36 and 45 due to insufficient evidence of service acceptance.
