Declaratory Relief Available For NAFI Contractor At Board
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 05.26.04
In SUFI Network Services, Inc. (Apr. 22, 2004), the ASBCA held that, while it lacked Contract Disputes Act jurisdiction over the non-appropriated funds contract before it, it had jurisdiction to grant declaratory relief under its Charter if the circumstances warranted. The ASBCA then found that it made sense to exercise its declaratory jurisdiction in this case, because central questions of contract interpretation were involved, the contract had several years of performance remaining, and the Air Force actions might have a significant impact on the viability of the company.

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.”
