Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals

The Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) is an independent body that settles disputes between the U.S. government and its contractors. When a contractor disagrees with a government decision—such as contract changes, payments, or performance issues—they can appeal to the ASBCA. The board reviews evidence, conducts hearings, and makes decisions to resolve these disputes fairly and efficiently, ensuring that both the government’s interests and contractors' rights are upheld. Its goal is to promote fairness in government contracting and provide a forum for contractors to seek redress.
