Board Unpersuaded by Contractor’s Allegation that Release of Claims Issued Via Unauthorized Use of Signature Stamp; CBCA 6155, Penna Group LLC v. Department of Justice

Appeal of the agency’s denial of a claim is denied, where it was the contractor’s responsibility to control access to a stamp bearing the signature of the company’s president and where the agency could not have guessed the signature was unauthorized when it relied on a signed release of claims to close out the contract and issue final payment.
