Order
On March 20, 2025, RedOrange LLC filed an appeal of a final decision by a contracting officer of the Department of Agriculture, which was docketed by the Board as CBCA 8389. On December 4, 2025, the parties jointly requested that the appeal be resolved through binding arbitration.
The parties each filed supplements to the record, position papers, replies, and affidavits or statements from witnesses. On April 21, 2026, the arbitrator held a conference with the parties, during which each party confirmed that the appeal would be resolved through binding arbitration, that each party would be bound by the judgment issued by the arbitrator, and that the judgment would not be appealable.
On April 30, 2026, the arbitrator held another conference with the parties and presented an oral explanation of the binding resolution of the appeal, confirmed in the arbitrator’s memorandum dated April 30, 2026. The arbitrator issued a binding, unappealable arbitration decision, and no issues remain to be resolved.
The appeal is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in RedOrange LLC, CBCA 8389. 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.
