DismissedContract Changes / Constructive ChangesContract InterpretationCDA Jurisdiction

Vectrus Systems Corporation appealed a contracting officer’s denial of a certified claim concerning a contract price adjustment for receiving and processing non-supply line-item materials for disposition through DRMO/DLADS. After the contracting officer withdrew the prior final decision and agreed that Vectrus was entitled to an adjustment, the Board denied the parties’ joint request for an entitlement order and dismissed the appeal as moot, leaving quantum for later resolution.
