About this report

The government-audience cut of the quarterly ASBCA analysis. It reads the same decisions from the other side of the table: how often the government prevailed on the merits, which defenses carried, where jurisdictional and procedural arguments succeeded, and how often oversight organizations appear in the record. Written for contracting officers, audit staff, and program leadership who need to know how their positions fare on appeal.

What it gives you

  • Government success rate on the merits with prior-quarter movement
  • Where jurisdictional and procedural defenses succeeded
  • Oversight involvement across the quarter's decisions
  • Issue mix and the outcomes each issue produced
  • Full case appendix covering every decision in the quarter
