The Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals published its FY19 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. According to this year's report, contractors prevailed, in whole or in part, in 48% of the appeals decided on the merits. Also notable, the Board had a sterling success rate in resolving matters via alternative dispute resolution (ADR), successfully resolving 100% of ADRs concluded in FY19—including mediation, arbitration, and ADR of undocketed appeals—up from 85% in FY18.
