CFC’s Transfer to CBCA Not Constrained by Board’s 90-Day Appeal Period
Client Alert | 1 min read | 10.06.16
In Appeal of Suffolk Constr. Co., the CBCA accepted the transfer of an appeal from the CFC to the CBCA, where the contractor had several pending appeals relating to the same contract, despite the fact that the CFC appeal was not filed within CBCA’s 90-day appeal period after the final decision. GSA argued that the CBCA lacked jurisdiction because it was filed after the 90 days had run (but before the CFC’s one-year appeal period), but the board held that – when “2 or more actions aris[e] from one contract” – the requirement for initiating a timely board appeal did not constrain the CFC’s authority to transfer to the board an action over which the CFC concededly had jurisdiction.

DOJ Establishes National Fraud Enforcement Division
On April 7, 2026, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a memorandum establishing the National Fraud Enforcement Division (NFED) within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). This new division will be dedicated to the centralized, coordinated investigation and prosecution of fraud against taxpayer dollars and taxpayer-funded programs. AAG Blanche acknowledged that, while DOJ has a “storied history of combatting fraud,” DOJ has “never adopted a comprehensive and coordinated approach to investigating and prosecuting fraud against taxpayer dollars and tax-payer funded programs.” The NFED was created to close that gap with its core mission being to “zealously investigate and prosecute those who steal or fraudulently misuse taxpayer dollars.”
