A quick definition of Contract Disputes Act:

The Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (CDA) is a law that helps resolve disagreements between the government and contractors who work for the government. It makes sure that everyone follows the same rules when negotiating and settling disputes. The law encourages both sides to work together to solve problems fairly and quickly. If a contractor disagrees with a decision made by the government, they can appeal to a special board or court. The decision made by the board or court is final and can only be appealed to higher courts.

A more thorough explanation:

The Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (CDA) is a law that provides a standard process for resolving disputes between the government and contractors who have entered into contracts with the government. The CDA ensures that the process for resolving disputes is fair and predictable for both parties.

Under the CDA, the government and the contractor are encouraged to negotiate any disputes in good faith at the lowest possible level. If a dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, the contractor can appeal to the Board of Contract Appeals or to the United States Court of Federal Claims. Decisions made by these forums can be appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and ultimately to the Supreme Court of the United States.

For example, if a contractor believes that the government has breached a contract, the contractor can file a claim with the Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer denies the claim, the contractor can appeal to the Board of Contract Appeals or to the United States Court of Federal Claims. If the contractor is still not satisfied with the decision, they can appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and ultimately to the Supreme Court of the United States.

The CDA provides a clear and transparent process for resolving disputes, which helps to ensure that both parties are treated fairly and that disputes are resolved in a timely manner.
