DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION: February 13, 2020 CBCA 6718 TERRY L. ODOM, Appellant, v. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, Respondent. Terry L. Odom, pro se, San Antonio, TX. Leigh Ann Bunetta, Office of Regional General Counsel, General Services Administration, Denver, CO, counsel for Respondent. Before Board Judges BEARDSLEY, VERGILIO, and ZISCHKAU. VERGILIO, Board Judge. Terry L. Odom, the purchaser of a vehicle through an auction conducted by the General Services Administration (agency), filed this appeal seeking to cancel the purchase contract and to be reimbursed for various expenses. No underlying claim had been presented to a contracting officer; no sum certain had been identified. The prerequisites to Board jurisdiction are lacking. The Board has no authority to resolve the case presented, as there can be no Contract Disputes Act (CDA) litigation without a preceding CDA claim. 41 U.S.C. § 7103(a) (2018); James M. Ellett Construction Co. v. United States, 93 F.3d 1537, 1541-42 (Fed. Cir. 1996); 48 CFR 6101.2(a) (2019) (Rule 2(a)). CBCA 6718 2 Decision The case is DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION. Joseph A.
