D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 27, r. 27-201
A complaint shall indicate that an appeal is being taken and shall identify the contract in dispute, or the suspension/debarment proceedings; the department or agency involved in the dispute; the decision from which the appeal is taken; the amount in dispute, if any; and shall state that the complaint is timely filed.
The complaint shall be signed by the contractor personally or by an authorized representative or attorney.
The complaint referred to herein does not require a particular form, but it shall fulfill the requirements of a complaint.
The appellant shall file a complaint setting forth simple, concise, and direct statements of each of its claims with the Board. If filed on paper, the appellant shall file an original and two (2) copies of the complaint with attachments.
The appellant shall set forth the basis, with appropriate reference to contract provisions and applicable law, of each claim to the extent known; the dollar amount claimed, to the extent known; and the relief sought from the Board.
If an appeal has been lawfully initiated by the filing of a complaint, the Board may thereafter order the District to file a complaint where an appellant has appealed an affirmative claim by the District asserted in a final decision by a contracting officer. In such cases, the Board may also order the appellant to file an answer as described in Section 205.
