This Government contract case is before the court on defendant’s motion for summary judgment. Defendant argues that this court has no jurisdiction over the case because plaintiff failed to exhaust its administrative remedies. Plaintiff counters that the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 is applicable to this case, and entitles plaintiff to bypass the Engineer Board of Contract Appeals to bring a direct appeal to this court. We agree with defendant and hold that the Contract Disputes Act does not apply to this case and that plaintiff has failed to exhaust its administrative remedies.
