Contract Disputes Act

The Contract Disputes Act (CDA) is a U.S. law that governs how disputes between contractors and the federal government are resolved. It establishes procedures for contractors to submit claims when they believe the government has not fulfilled its part of a contract. The CDA outlines how disputes should be handled, including timelines for filing claims and the process for appeal. It aims to ensure fairness in contract dealings and provides a structured way for both parties to seek resolution without resorting to litigation, ultimately fostering better relationships between the government and private contractors.
