Motion to Dismiss Based on Lack of Privity of Contract Fails Where Agency Was Aware Appellant Had Changed Business Name; CBCA 5272, Eastco Building Services v. General Services Administration

Government’s motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and lack of privity of contract with the appellant is denied, where the appellant submitted its claim under a different business name that that used for the task order at issue, but the government was fully aware the business had changed names after the task order was awarded, and that the two entities were the same concern.
