ORDER
On July 21, 2025, the parties filed a joint motion to dismiss without prejudice the
appeal docketed as CBCA 8445, which had previously been consolidated with appeals
docketed as CBCA 8443 and 8444. In support of the motion, the parties stated:
Since the contracting officer has not yet rendered a final decision on
[appellant]’s third REA, corresponding to CBCA No. 8445, the parties
recognize there is not currently Contract Disputes Act jurisdiction over that
matter. The parties therefore respectfully request, pursuant to Civilian Board
CBCA 8445 2
of Contract Appeals Rule 12(b)(2), that the Board dismiss without prejudice
CBCA No. 8445 pending the COFD on [appellant]’s claim submitted July 18,
2025. If the contracting officer denies the July 18, 2025 claim, [appellant]
intends to refile the appeal with this Board.
The parties’ motion is granted, and the appeal is DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE.
