ORDER
Through an appeal filed on December 18, 2013, Interactive Elements, Inc. (IEI)
challenged the decision of a Department of Transportation contracting officer which
demanded payment of $87,891 under a contract for the provision of project management
services to the Federal Transit Administration. The demand was based on audits of the
contractor’s incurred costs for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. As a result of mediation
conducted by a Board Judge, the parties entered into a settlement agreement which included
ground rules for audits of IEI’s indirect cost proposals for fiscal years 2011 through 2014.
CBCA 3642 2
IEI has now filed a motion to dismiss the appeal. In the motion, the contractor notes,
with the agency’s concurrence, that the audits for fiscal years 2013 and 2014 have not been
completed, and that if the contracting officer issues a final decision for either of those years
which IEI disputes, the contractor may appeal such a decision to the Board.
At IEI’s request, CBCA 3642 is DISMISSED.
