The case caption as the decision prints it. Every word is kept; the rule the Board draws around it is not text, so it is not repeated here.
Michael Faro, Partner of OREADY LLC, Las Vegas, NV, appearing for Appellant.
Brian A. Quint, Office of the Solicitor, Department of the Interior, Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent.
VERGILIO, Board Judge.
Order
Appellant, OREADY LLC (contractor), filed this appeal disputing a decision by a contracting officer that limited to a specific dollar amount the contractor’s reimbursement under a contract, although the contractor sought an additional fixed sum. The decision notified the contractor of its appeal rights. Thereafter, the contractor filed a certified claim for the amount in dispute and this appeal of the contracting officer’s decision.
The agency maintains, as noted in a motion opposed by the contractor, that this appeal should be dismissed because a contracting officer’s decision was lacking at the time this appeal was filed. The contractor subsequently filed a separate appeal contesting the contracting officer’s decision denying the certified claim. The parties request that this appeal be dismissed without prejudice, viewing this appeal as moot given the recently filed appeal. At the request of the parties, this appeal is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE pursuant to Board Rule 12(b)(2) (48 CFR 6101.12(b)(2) (2024)).

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in OREADY LLC, CBCA 8427. 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.
