Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 08.03.15

The CO had issued a final decision, but subsequently reconsidered a portion of it on its own motion, leading the board to conclude that "the decision was not truly final" prior to the reconsideration and so the contractor's 90-day appeal window ran from the latter decision.
