as amended (41 U.S.C. § 601-613). Except as provided in the Act, all disputes arising
under or relating to this contract shall be resolved under this clause.

one of the contracting parties seeking, as a matter of right, the payment of money
in a sum certain, the adjustment or interpretation of contract terms, or other relief
arising under or relating to this contract. A claim arising under a contract, unlike
a claim relating to that contract, is a claim that can be resolved under a contract
clause that provides for the relief sought by the claimant. However, a written
demand or written assertion by the Contractor seeking the payment of money
exceeding $100,000 is not a claim under the Act until certified as required by
subparagraph (b) (2) of this clause. A voucher, invoice, or other routine request
for payment that is not in dispute when submitted is not a claim under the Act.
The submission maybe converted to a claim under the Act, by complying with
the submission and certification requirements of this clause, if it is disputed as to
either liability or amount or is not acted upon in a reasonable time.
b. (1) A claim by the Contractor shall be made in writing and, unless otherwise
stated in this contract, submitted within six (6) years after accrual of the claim to
the Contracting Officer for a written decision. A claim by the Government
against the Contractor shall be subject to a written decision by the Contracting
Officer.
(2) (i) The Contractor shall provide the certification specified in paragraph (d) (2) (iii)
of this clause when submitting any claim exceeding $100,000.
(ii) The certification requirement does not apply to issues in controversy that have not
been submitted as all or part of a claim.
(iii) The certification shall state as follows: "I certify that the claim is made in good
faith; that the supporting data are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge
and belief; that the amount requested accurately reflects the contract adjustment for
which the Contractor believes the Government is liable; and that I am duly authorized
to certify the claim on behalf of the Contractor."
(3) The certification maybe executed by any person duly authorized to bind the
Contractor with respect to the claim.
c. For Contractor claims of $100,000 or less, the Contracting Officer must, if
requested in writing by the Contractor, render a decision within sixty (60) days of
the request. For Contractor-certified claims over $100,000, the Contracting
Officer must, with sixty (60) days, decide the claim or notify the Contractor of the
date by which the decision will be made.

d. The Contracting Officer's decision shall be final unless the Contractor appeals or
files a suit as provided in the Act.
e. If the claim by the Contractor is submitted to the Contracting Officer or a claim
by the Government is presented to the Contractor, the parties, by mutual consent,
may agree to use alternative dispute resolutions (ADR). If the Contractor refuses
an offer for ADR, the Contractor shall inform the Contracting Officer, in writing,
of the Contractor's specific reasons for rejecting the offer.
The Government shall pay interest on the amount found due and unpaid from (1)
the date that the Contracting Officer receives the claim (certified, if required), or
(2) the date that payment otherwise would be due, if that date is later, until the
date of payment. With regard to claims having defective certifications, as defined
in FAR 33.21, interest shall be paid from the date that the Contracting Officer
initially receives the claim. Simple interest on claims shall be paid at the rate,
fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury as provided for in the Act, which is
applicable to the period during which the Contracting Officer receives the claim
and then at the rate applicable for each six (6) month period as fixed by the
Treasury Secretary during the pendency of the claim.
26. ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS (JAN 1986): a. The Contractor, under the Assignment
of Claims Act, as amended, 31 U.S.C. § 3727, 41 U.S.C. § 15 (hereafter referred to as
"the Act"), may assign its right to be paid amounts due or to become due as a result of
the performance by contract to a bank, trust company, or other financing institution,
including any Federal lending agency. The assignee under such an assignment may
thereafter further assign, reassign, or reassign its right under the original assignment to
any type of financing institution described in the preceding sentence.
b. Any assignment or reassignment authorized under the Act and this clause shall cover
all unpaid amounts payable under this contract, and shall not be made to more than one
party, except that an assignment or reassignment may be made to one party as agent or
trustee for two or more parties participating in the financing of this contract.

classified documents (including this contract) or information related to work under this
contract until the Contracting Officer authorizes such in writing.
