Board Lacks Jurisdiction to Consider Quantum Meruit Claims Absent Government Allegation that Contact is Void Ab Initio; ASBCA Nos. 61161, Appeals of PROTEC GmbH

The government’s motion to strike counts of the contractor’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction is denied in part, where the appellant asked the board to remand its compliant about a CPARS evaluation back to the contracting officer for further consideration, but did not ask the board to direct the government to take specific action; and granted in part, where the appellant brought two counts under a quantum meruit theory, which the board does not have jurisdiction to consider.
