(f) The Contracting Officer's decision shall be final unless the Contractor appeals, within ninety (90) days of receipt of a Contracting Officer's decision, to the U.S. Government Accountability Office Contract Appeals Board (GAO CAB), 441 G Street, NW, Room 7182, Washington, DC, 20548;Facsimile:202-512-9749; E-Mail: CAB@gao.gov.

[A defective certification means a certificate which alters or otherwise deviates from the language in(d)(2)(iii) above, or which is not executed by a person duly authorized to bind the contractor with respect to the claim. Failure to certify shall not be deemed to be a defective certification.] Simple interest on claims shall be paid at the rate, fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury as provided in the Act, which is applicable to the period during which the Contracting Officer receives the claim and then at the rate applicable for each 6- month period as fixed by the Treasury Secretary during the pendency of the claim.

(i) The Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of this contract, pending final resolution of any request for relief, claim, appeal, or action arising under the contract, and comply with any decision of the Contracting Officer.

(j) This contract clause, Disputes (GPO Clause June 2008), cancels and supersedes the contract clause, MMAR Dispute 52.233-1 (July 2002), and all other references to the contract clause, Disputes. This contract clause also cancels and supersedes any other disputes language currently included in existing contractual actions.
