Agency’s Remittance of Payment into Escrow Account Does Not Establish Government Contract with Insurance Firm; ASBCA No. 60952, Appeal of Safeco Insurance Company of America

Government’s motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction is granted, where the Armed Service Board of Contract Appeals’ jurisdiction does not extend to equitable subrogation claims, because the Contract Disputes Act requires a contract between the claimant and the government, and where the appellant failed to present any evidence to support its allegation of an implied-in-fact contract with the government.
