Order

On March 11, 2026, the Board docketed the parties’ Joint Motion to Dismiss With Prejudice All Appeals Under Contract No. SAQMMA-15-C-0268. The parties explained that they had resolved all pending appeals brought by appellant under the contract. Thus, they sought an order dismissing the appeals with prejudice pursuant to their settlement agreement and Board Rule 12(b)(2) (48 CFR 6101.12(b)(2)(2024)).

Most of the ninety-eight pending appeals listed above had not been consolidated as of the date of the filing of the parties’ motion. By order dated March 12, 2026, the Board requested the parties’ position on consolidating all of the pending appeals for the purpose of dismissal. In their response, also dated March 12, 2026, the parties stated that they had no objection to consolidating the appeals for this purpose. Accordingly, all pending appeals are consolidated.

As for the motion to dismiss, the Board commends the parties on reaching settlement. Further, consistent with the parties’ motion, all pending appeals brought by appellant under the contract and consolidated by this order are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

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.
