CROCKETT FACILITIES SERVICES, INC.
Appellant,
v.
GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION,
Respondent.
Eden Brown Gaines of Brown Gains, LLC, White Plains, MD, counsel for Appellant.
Claire L. O’Donnell, Office of General Counsel, General Services Administration,
Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent.
Before GOODMAN, Board Judge.
On August 16, 2013 appellant Crockett Facilities Services, Inc. filed a notice of appeal
of a deemed denial by the respondent General Services Administration contracting officer
of appellant’s claim pursuant to the Contract Disputes Act.  Appellant’s claim was  submitted
to the contracting officer on May 14, 2013.  Pursuant to Board Rule 52, appellant elected the
small claims procedure.  Accordingly, this decision is final and conclusive and does not have
value as precedent.
In its notice of appeal designated as its complaint, appellant stated:
Nature of Claim: Pursuant to Modification P003 of the above referenced
Contract, and executed August 16, 2011, CFSI agreed to provide additional
inventory. . . The Modification facilitated payment for additional inventory at
the amount of $2,664.48 per month for Option Year III. . . .


CBCA 3498 2
When GSA formally exercised Option Year III by Modification P006, the
contracting office inadvertently omitted the line item for the additional
inventory. . . . CFSI contacted the contracting office to confirm the existence
of requirements for additional inventory and payment for the same.  The
contracting office confirmed that an adjustment to the contract, to include the
additional inventory, was forthcoming. . . .
Despite the communication from the contracting office confirming the
governments intent that CFSI provide service to the additional inventory and
despite CFSI's continued provision of such services, the Contracting Officer
has not made appropriate adjustments to the Contract to facilitate payment to
CFSI.
CFSI is entitled to payment of $26,644.80, plus interest pursuant to the Prompt
Payment Act and/or FAR 52.233- 1(h), as representative of payments owed for
the period between November 1, 2012 and August 31, 2013.  CFSI is entitled
to $2,664.48 each month thereafter, plus interest pursuant to the Prompt
Payment Act and/or FAR 52.233-1(h), until the satisfaction of its claim.
Relief Requested: CFSI seeks payment in the amount of $26,6440.80, plus
accrued interest; payment of $2,664.48 for each month until satisfaction of the
claim; an appropriate modification to the Contract reflecting payment in the
amount of $2,664.48 per month to service the additional inventory; and
attorney fees and costs.
Respondent requested extensions of time to file an answer and an appeal file, and
these requests were granted by the Board.  Appellant and respondent entered into settlement
discussions but did not resolve the dispute by agreement.  On December 9, 2013 respondent
filed a stipulation that stated: “Respondent, General Services Administration, concedes the
. . . appeal on the merits.”
The Board issued a decision dated December 13, 2013 pursuant to respondent’s
stipulation.  Thereafter, the parties advised that the Board’s decision contained a clerical
error and did not accurately state the resolution of the appeal.  The Board directed the parties
to file a joint stipulation stating with specificity the decision they wished the Board to issue. 

CBCA 3498 3
On December 20, 2013, the parties filed a joint stipulation which is reproduced in the
decision below.1
Decision
As respondent has conceded the appeal on the merits, the appeal is GRANTED in the
amount of $31,973.76 and applicable interest in accordance with the Prompt Payment Act,
31 U.S.C. § 3902 (2006) and Contract Disputes Act, 41 U.S.C. § 7109 (Supp. IV 2011).  The
Board cannot address appellant’s demand for attorneys fees and costs in this proceeding.
