L3 Technologies, Inc.

March 19, 2019Judge Clarke
DismissedCDA JurisdictionDCMA Involved

The Board considered whether it had jurisdiction over L3 Technologies, Inc.'s appeal of a government claim after the contracting officer withdrew the underlying final decision. It dismissed the appeal without prejudice because the final decision demanded three irreconcilable amounts and therefore failed to state a sum certain.

Material Facts

  • DCMA contracting officer Felecia Sousa issued a contracting officer's final decision and demand for payment to L-3 Communications Integrated Systems L.P., a subsidiary of L3 Technologies, Inc.
  • The contracting officer's final decision presented three distinct amounts demanded by DCMA.
  • The contracting officer later withdrew the final decision.
  • Neither party argued that the final decision stated a sum certain.
