1Opinion of the CourtDavis, Judge

United States, 406 U.S. 1 (1972), the heads of two separate procuring agencies could properly refuse to accept a determination of the agency’s board of contract appeals favorable to the contractor, and thus compel the latter to litigate the merits of its claim in this court.1 We hold that the agency heads had no such authority and the contractors are entitled to recover on the basis of the favorable decisions of the boards of contract appeals.
