Typewritten Signature Insufficient to Certify Claim; ASBCA No. 60022, Appeal of ABS Development Corporation

Agency’s motion to dismiss appeals for lack of jurisdiction is denied, in part, where the claims to the government were signed by an authorized individual to bind the contractor with respect to the claim, even though the individual was employed by the contractor’s parent company; and granted in part, where the contractor’s claim certifications contained typewritten signatures, but no actual signatures.
