ASBCA's FY15 Report – a Look at the Numbers

Last month, the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals published its FY15 Report of Transactions and Proceedings, which provides statistics regarding the adjudication of appeals between contractors and the Army, Navy, Air Force, Corps of Engineers, DLA, DCMA, CIA, NASA, other Defense agencies, and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. This year's report reflects that the appellant prevailed in just over half of the appeals decided in the merits (53%) and indicates that, as usual, the board had a high success rate in resolving matters via ADR, with a 93% resolution in non-binding ADR.
