Order
On July 10, 2014, the Board received from Akal Security, Inc. a notice of appeal concerning its contract, DJMS-02-D-0001, with the United States Marshals Service, Department of Justice (agency). The contractor provided security services at federal courthouse buildings during the time of and after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The contractor submitted a claim for payment. The contracting officer denied the claim on the basis that it was submitted outside of the statutory period for a claim--that is, beyond six years after the claim accrued. 41 U.S.C. § 7103(a)(4) (2012). The contractor here appeals the denial. The parties have resolved the dispute. In accordance with a submission received on September 12, 2014, the Board DISMISSES WITH PREJUDICE the appeal.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in AKAL Security, Inc, CBCA 3965. 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.
