# §903.970. Remedies.

- (a) Contractors found to have retaliated against an employee in reprisal for such disclosure, participation or refusal are required to provide relief in accordance with decisions issued under [10 CFR part 708](/cfr/10/part708.md).
- (b) [10 CFR part 708](/cfr/10/part708.md) provides that for the purposes of the Contract Disputes Act (41 U.S.C. [605](/usc/41/605.md) and [606](/usc/41/606.md)), a final decision issued pursuant to [10 CFR part 708](/cfr/10/part708.md) shall not be considered to be a claim by the Government against a contractor or a decision by the contracting officer subject to appeal. However, a contractor's disagreement and refusal to comply with a final decision could result in a contracting officer's decision to disallow certain costs or to terminate the contract for default. In such case, the contractor could file a claim under the Disputes clause of the contract regarding the disallowance of cost or the termination of the contract.
