Denied / Government PrevailedQuantum / DamagesCommercial Item

Targe Logistic Services Company appealed a government decision regarding claims for losses due to the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, asserting breaches of contract by the Army. The Board granted the government's motion for summary judgment and denied TLS's cross-motion for partial summary judgment.

Material Facts

  • The Army awarded multiple indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts to TLS for the supply and delivery of aviation turbine fuel.
  • The contracts required TLS to deliver fuel on a Free on Board (FOB) Destination Basis and maintain an effective supply chain.
  • TLS claimed losses due to the Taliban's confiscation of fuel and equipment after the collapse of the Government of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
  • The government terminated the contracts for convenience on September 2, 2021.
  • The contracting officer determined TLS was entitled to payment for certain unpaid invoices but not for undelivered fuel or lost equipment.
