# §900.218. What is a claim under the CDA?

- (a) A claim is a written demand by one of the contracting parties, asking for one or more of the following:
  - (1) Payment of a specific sum of money under the contract;
  - (2) Adjustment or interpretation of contract terms; or
  - (3) **Any other claim relating to the contract.**
- (b) However, an undisputed voucher, invoice, or other routing request for payment is not a claim under the CDA. A voucher, invoice, or routing request for payment may be converted into a CDA claim if:
  - (1) It is disputed as to liability or amount; or
  - (2) It is not acted upon in a reasonable time and written notice of the claim is given to the awarding official by the senior official designated in the contract.
