FRIEDMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
The Eichleay formula is used to determine a government contractor’s damages reflecting unabsorbed home office overhead when the government delays work on the contract indefinitely but requires the contractor to remain available to resume work immediately on the government’s instruction. The Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals denied the contractor’s claim for Eichleay damages because the government had shown that the delay did not prevent the contractor from taking on additional work or reallocating its resources. We affirm.
