Material Facts

• The USAF issued Base Operation Support Services Contract No. FA3002-17-C-0001 for services at Keesler Air Force Base.
• The contract included four laundry-service provisions with corresponding CLINs that were firm fixed price per month, multiplied by 12 months per contract year.
• The laundry CLINs did not specify a number, range, or limit of items to be serviced.
• Appendix 15B contained workload data listing 34 individual item-types and a total for each one.
• The contract did not define the workload data's contractual relevance, and the term workload data was not used in the laundry provisions or corresponding CLINs.
• The USAF revised the workload data in Modification No. A00006 and added Fisher House laundry CLINs.
• Modification Nos. A00015 and A00016 negotiated and bilaterally definitized increases to the CLIN prices, but did not change the firm-fixed-price structure.
• The revised workload data was created at least in part using Vectrus's records and records from the prior contractor, with Vectrus's participation.
• During the next four years, Vectrus laundered a lower volume of approximately 42 of the 49 item-types and a higher volume of approximately seven item-types than listed in the revised workload data.
• Vectrus submitted a certified claim based on a per-item cost for instances laundered above the workload data in contract option years three and four.
