Partially SustainedContract InterpretationSuperior Knowledge

Relyant, LLC appealed a decision regarding the acceptance of relocatable buildings under a government contract, which resulted in a partial award for damages due to government delays.

Material Facts

  • The contract was a multiple award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract for the manufacture, delivery, and installation of relocatable buildings in Afghanistan.
  • Relyant proposed a different configuration for the buildings than what was specified in the contract's statement of work (SOW).
  • The government accepted some of Relyant's buildings at one site but rejected them at another site due to non-compliance with the SOW.
  • Relyant's request to use a sandwich panel instead of drywall was not approved by the Contracting Officer.
  • The government delayed its response to Relyant's request for several months, which caused Relyant to incur additional costs.
