Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 08.29.06
Relying on CFC precedent, the GSBCA in Northrop Grumman Computing Systems, Inc. (June 26, 2006, http:// www.gsbca.gsa.gov/appeals/y1636726.pdf), reiterated that an agency by contract can restrict its normally unlimited discretion whether or not to exercise an option. In this instance, the contractor stated a valid case that the agency had violated its express duties to use its best efforts to gain funding to allow exercise of the option and not to buy other equipment to do the same job.
