L-3 Communications Integrated Systems, L.P. appealed two contracting officer's final decisions demanding payment for costs determined to be unallowable. After the decisions were unequivocally rescinded, the Board dismissed the appeals as moot.

Material Facts

  • Two administrative contracting officers of the Defense Contract Management Agency issued final decisions concerning costs paid to L-3 through interim billings.
  • The contracting officers found that the costs were unallowable.
  • The final decisions relied on a Defense Contract Audit Agency audit report concerning L-3's costs for fiscal year 2008.
  • The contracting officers later issued letters stating that they “hereby withdraw[s]” the final decisions.
  • The withdrawal letters did not state whether the government intended to reassert the claims.
