Appeal of Claims Stemming from Task Order Terms and Conditions Requires Decision from Agency of Underlying Contract; CBCA 5458, Consultis of San Antonio Inc. v. Department of Veterans Affairs

Appeal of the contracting officer’s denial of a claim for supplemental payment as a result of the incorporation of wage determinations into the contractor’s task order is denied, where the case stems from a challenge to the terms and conditions of the underlying Federal Supply Schedule contract, which requires a decision by the General Services Administration contracting officer, not from the ordering activity contracting officer.
