Understanding the USPS Board of Contract Appeals
The PSBCA is a neutral, independent tribunal with the authority to hear and decide any appeal from a decision of a contracting officer of the United States Postal Service (USPS) or the Postal Regulatory Commission related to a contract with either agency.
The Board comprises committees established under the Contract Disputes Act and rules on appeals of contract decisions made by the Postal Regulatory Commission or the United States Postal Service. It’s important to have a qualified USPS lawyer on your side.
