Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals

The Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) is an administrative tribunal within the

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (41 U.S.C. § 7105(e)(1)(a)).^[1] The ASBCA was established in 1949 by the merger of the Navy Compensation Board, which had been established during World War I, and the War Department Board of Contract Appeals, which had been established in World War I, dissolved after the war, and reestablished in 1942 to deal with contract disputes arising out of World War II.^[2] From 1949 to 1962, the board had separate panels for Army, Navy, and Air Force disputes, which were merged into a single combined board in 1962.^[2]

The ASBCA's

appellate jurisdiction over decisions of the ASBCA involving Government contract disputes (41 U.S.C. § 7101

(a)(1)).

While several other boards for examining contract appeals against government agencies exist, the ASBCA "is the largest and has the largest staff".
