1Opinion of the Court
Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge TATEL.
TATEL, Circuit Judge:
In this dispute between a government contractor and its subcontractor, we review the district court’s determination that fifty-two purchase orders and three oral requests for services were not contracts. Because the district court apparently assumed, contrary to District of Columbia law, that purchase orders cannot be contracts, we reverse and remand for reconsideration. We also set aside the district court’s award to the subcontractor on an unjust enrichment claim added to the subcontractor’s complaint after trial.
