Order
Under a contract with the Department of State, the Joint Venture between Service and Supply International Inc. and Safetech, Lda. Moçambique provided security guard services at the United States Embassy in Mozambique from October 13, 2006, to March 1, 2012. The contractor later claimed that it was entitled to be paid $794,468 more than it had received, to cover wage increases which had been mandated by changes to Mozambique’s minimum wage law which had become effective during the term of the contract. The contractor appealed to the Board from the deemed denial of the claim.
The parties have now settled the case and have asked that it be dismissed with prejudice to its reinstatement.
Accordingly, the case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Joint Venture Between Service and Supply International Inc. and Safetech, LDA. Mocambique, CBCA 2960. Nothing is summarized or reworded, and the sections run in the order the Board wrote them. What the page shows and the text does not repeat is the pagination furniture: the page numbers and the rules the Board draws around its caption and under its signatures. The signatures are set back into the columns the Board prints them in, each judge under the name he or she signed, and the typed copy of that name the page carries beneath each signature is not repeated.
