If you are a contractor working with the federal government and a contract or other dispute arises, you have recourse through the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA). This is an independent tribunal tasked with resolving contractual disputes between contractors and the federal agencies employing them. The CBCA provides oversight and governance in situations where jurisdiction may be uncertain. It also offers alternative dispute resolution (ADR), such as mediation or arbitration, services for government contractors, or other matters pertaining to contract work with federal agencies.

With the help of our experienced Virginia Civilian Board of Contract Appeals attorney, you may be able to avoid having your case dismissed due to jurisdiction issues or appeal a decision made by a federal government agency. The CBCA also has provisions for administrative judges to review the decisions of federal agencies regarding contractors.

The government contracts lawyers at Federal Practice Group have decades of combined experience litigating disputes between contractors and the federal government. We can help resolve issues between your contractor business and the government agency you were working with before and after litigation commences. Our appellate lawyers provide comprehensive support services for U.S. and international clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Government contracting refers to the process through which federal, state, or local government agencies purchase goods and services from private businesses or individuals to fulfill their operational needs and public services. 

Government contracting is regulated by various laws and regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), agency-specific regulations, the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA), the False Claims Act, and various socio-economic programs. 

The FAR is a set of rules and guidelines issued by the federal government that govern the acquisition process for all executive agencies. It covers various aspects of contracting, including procurement procedures, contract administration, and contractor responsibilities. 

We assist clients by reviewing and understanding relevant regulations, ensuring they have appropriate policies and procedures in place, providing training on compliance, and conducting internal audits to identify and address potential issues. 

A bid protest is a formal complaint filed by a bidder or offeror who believes that a government procurement process was conducted unfairly, improperly, or in violation of procurement laws and regulations.
