Order
Through an appeal filed on December 18, 2013, Interactive Elements, Inc. (IEI) challenged the decision of a Department of Transportation contracting officer which demanded payment of $87,891 under a contract for the provision of project management services to the Federal Transit Administration. The demand was based on audits of the contractor’s incurred costs for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. As a result of mediation conducted by a Board Judge, the parties entered into a settlement agreement which included ground rules for audits of IEI’s indirect cost proposals for fiscal years 2011 through 2014. IEI has now filed a motion to dismiss the appeal. In the motion, the contractor notes, with the agency’s concurrence, that the audits for fiscal years 2013 and 2014 have not been completed, and that if the contracting officer issues a final decision for either of those years which IEI disputes, the contractor may appeal such a decision to the Board.
At IEI’s request, CBCA 3642 is DISMISSED.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Interactive Elements, Inc., CBCA 3642. 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.
