• “Before filing suit in this court under the CDA, a plaintiff must first submit a written claim to the contracting officer for a final decision.” (citing 41 U.S.C. § 7103(a))
• “The CDA exclusively governs Government contracts and Government contract disputes.”
• “[T]o the extent that this court would have jurisdiction to hear any of plaintiffs claims alleging a breach of [a] contract — or any claim related to the administration or management of [a] contract — such a claim must be brought under the CDA.”
