Before Board Judges RUSSELL, GOODMAN, and CHADWICK.
GOODMAN, Board Judge.
Appellant, Caring Hands Equipment & Supplies, LLC, and respondent, the Department of Veterans Affairs, filed a joint motion requesting the entry of a stipulated judgment in favor of appellant in the amount of $650,000. Appellant waives any right it may have to claim for recovery of interest, attorney fees, costs, and expenses that it may have incurred in conjunction with the appeal, except that, if the settlement amount remains unpaid, Contract Disputes Act (CDA), 41 U.S.C. § 7109 (2018), interest will begin to accrue ninety days from the date of this judgment and continue to accrue until payment is made. The parties have stipulated that they will not seek reconsideration of, seek relief from, or appeal the Board’s entry of judgment awarding the stipulated amount to appellant. See Rule 25(b) (48 CFR 6101.25(b) (2024)).
The appeal is GRANTED IN PART. Respondent shall pay $650,000 to appellant in full settlement of CBCA 8047(6814)-REM, with CDA interest beginning to accrue ninety days from the date of this judgment if payment has not yet been made and continuing to accrue until the payment date. Appellant waives any further right it may have to claim for recovery of interest, attorney fees, costs, and expenses that it may have incurred in conjunction with the appeal.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Caring Hands Equipment & Supplies, LLC, CBCA 8047(6814)-REM. 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.
