U.S. Bank National Association appealed a decision regarding reimbursement for transportation services under a contract with the Department of Defense, resulting in the Board awarding U.S. Bank $1,575,816.08 plus interest.

Material Facts

  • The contract at issue took effect in January 2015, but U.S. Bank had been performing similar services under predecessor contracts since 1998.
  • A software platform upgrade in early 2020 led to a reconciliation that revealed a discrepancy of roughly $1.5 million in the DLA Susquehanna account.
  • U.S. Bank failed to report approximately $1.5 million in transactions via Syncada that had been recorded in TSYS.
  • The Board held an evidentiary hearing in September 2023, where U.S. Bank demonstrated entitlement to $1,575,816.08.
  • The government contracting officer denied U.S. Bank's claim for lack of sufficient documentation.
