When a claim exceeds $100,000, what action must be taken according to the Contract Disputes Act?

When a claim exceeds $100,000, it must be certified according to the requirements laid out in the Contract Disputes Act. Certification entails that the contractor must provide a signed statement asserting that the claim is made in good faith, that the supporting data is accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge, and that the amount requested accurately reflects the amount due under the contract.

This certification process is crucial because it serves to formalize the claim and provides assurance to the government that the claim is substantiated and credible. The intent behind this requirement is to prevent frivolous claims and ensure that any substantial claims submitted are legitimate and documented properly before they proceed through the resolution process.
