I found this, I'm sure there are other sources to back it up.

"B. Statute of Limitations
The applicable statute of limitations for filing suit in the Court of Federal Claims is six years. 28
U.S.C. § 2501 (“[e]very claim of which the United States Court of Federal Claims has jurisdiction shall
be barred unless the petition thereon is filed within six years after such claim first accrues”). The sixyear
limitation is an express limitation on the Tucker Act’s waiver of sovereign immunity. Franconia
Associates v. United States, 240 F.3d 1358, 1362 (Fed. Cir. 2001) (quoting Hart v. United States, 910
F.2d 815, 817 (Fed. Cir. 1990)). In Hopland Band of Pomo Indians v. United States, 855 F.2d 1573,
1576-77 (Fed. Cir. 1988), the Federal Circuit observed that the six-year limitations period for actions
against the United States “is a jurisdictional requirement attached by Congress” that must be strictly
construed."
