Going over a course Review for Federal Real Property Lease Law and want to get a double check and see if i come up with the same answer: (Thank you in advance as this online learning experience was extremely difficult to follow along and confusing).

A board on contract appeals may exercise its authority over a contract dispute

1 after GAO renders an initial decision on the dispute

2 if the government agres that the board of contract appeals should take jurisdiction

3 only after the contracting officer issues a final decision

4 only if the court of federal claims directs that the board of contract appeals take jurisdicison
