Before Board Judges RUSSELL, ZISCHKAU, and NEWSOM.
ZISCHKAU, Board Judge.
On July 9, 2025, appellant, The Spanos Group, LLC (Spanos), 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 $75,000. Additionally, the parties have agreed that if the $75,000 remains unpaid by the agency, interest as authorized by the Contract Disputes Act (CDA), 41 U.S.C. § 7109 (2018), on the amount of $75,000 will begin to accrue on September 1, 2025, and will continue to accrue until payment of $75,000 plus interest has been paid to Spanos or an agreed upon designee. The settlement amount includes all costs and fees set forth in the settlement agreement between the parties and fully resolves the dispute underlying this appeal. 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)).
Decision
The appeal is GRANTED IN PART. Respondent shall pay $75,000 to appellant in full settlement of this appeal with CDA interest accruing as provided above if respondent has not made payment of the settlement amount by September 1, 2025. Appellant waives any further rights it may have to claim for recovery of attorney fees, costs, and expenses that it may have incurred in conjunction with this appeal.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in The Spanos Group, LLC, CBCA 8266. 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.
