Claim for Lost Profit Failed to Identify Work Awarded Outside Appellant’s Contract or Amount Sought; ASBCA No. 60666, Appeal of Melwood Horticultural Training Center Inc.

Government’s motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction is granted, where a portion of the contractor’s claim for recovery of additional costs stated a sum certain in relation to retention bonuses and payments to subcontractors, but the final claim sought recovery of lost profits on alleged contracts improperly awarded to other vendors, but did not request a sum certain, did not identify all the contracts at issue or their value, and did not provide a method for calculating what the appellant believed it was owed.
