Federal Circuit Remands NAFI Contractor Back to ASBCA for Further Damages Findings
Client Alert | 1 min read | 06.04.14
In SUFI Network Servs., Inc., v. U.S. (May 29, 2014), the Federal Circuit vacated and remanded a $114 million award granted by the Court of Federal Claims to SUFI in its appeal of the ASBCA's damages determinations on several breach of contract claims brought in the aftermath of a telephone services contract with the Air Force's Non-Appropriated Fund Purchasing Office. The court found that the CFC correctly found error in several of the ASBCA's legal and factual findings concerning SUFI's damages, but it ruled that the CFC was not itself permitted to recalculate them under Wunderlich Act review and instructed the ASBCA to reconsider whether SUFI's calculations provided a fair and reasonable approximation of its losses (as the CFC had held) and recompute the lost profits owed.

On November 7, 2025, in Thornton v. National Academy of Sciences, No. 25-cv-2155, 2025 WL 3123732 (D.D.C. Nov. 7, 2025), the District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed a False Claims Act (FCA) retaliation complaint on the basis that the plaintiff’s allegations that he was fired after blowing the whistle on purported illegally discriminatory use of federal funding was not sufficient to support his FCA claim. This case appears to be one of the first filed, and subsequently dismissed, following Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s announcement of the creation of the Civil Rights Fraud Initiative on May 19, 2025, which “strongly encourages” private individuals to file lawsuits under the FCA relating to purportedly discriminatory and illegal use of federal funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in violation of Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity (Jan. 21, 2025). In this case, the court dismissed the FCA retaliation claim and rejected the argument that an organization could violate the FCA merely by “engaging in discriminatory conduct while conducting a federally funded study.” The analysis in Thornton could be a sign of how forthcoming arguments of retaliation based on reporting allegedly fraudulent DEI activity will be analyzed in the future.
