CFC
OPINION

SUBJECT
Gov. Contract

Issue(s) Presented

1. “Did the Government injure Textron (a requirement for claim accrual) (a) when Textron’s predecessor-in-interest curtailed and terminated the pension plans in December 2012; or (b) when the Government disputed Textron’s routine payment request in 2020?”

2. “Alternatively, even if Textron’s claim accrued before the Government disputed the amount owed, did the Court of Federal Claims err in resolving limitations against Textron as a matter of law, when the record contains no evidence showing how long it should have taken Textron to determine the amount owed and when asserting a claim requires government contractors to certify the amount owed?”
