Order
Preventive Maintenance Services Company (PM Services) petitioned the Board to direct a General Services Administration contracting officer to issue promptly a decision on a claim in the amount of $490,201.71 under contract number GS-11P-12-MA-C-0112. On July 6, 2015, the Board directed the contracting officer to provide, by July 24, 2015, either a decision or an explanation of when the decision would be issued and an explanation of why it could not be issued by July 24.
On July 21, PM Services withdrew its petition. The contractor represented that as a result of communications with government counsel, it anticipates receiving payment for the amount in question.
Accordingly, the petition is DISMISSED. Dismissal of the petition does not preclude the contractor from challenging in the future any failure by the contracting officer to pay the invoiced amount.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Preventive Maintenance Services Company, CBCA 4832. 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.
