The Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals published its FY18 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, appellants prevailed, in whole or in part, in 69 percent of the appeals decided on the merits, a notable increase from the past several years.
