ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This appeal arises from an alleged deemed denial by the contracting officer of a
contractor's claim. The government moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction,
alleging that appellant had not submitted a claim to the contracting officer. In response,
appellant indicated that it concurred with the government's motion and desired to submit
a claim to the contracting officer for a decision. The government provided appellant with
the contact information for the cognizant contracting officer. Appellant subsequently
filed an appeal to the Board from what appears to be a contracting officer's final decision
denying its claim, docketed by the Board as ASBCA No. 60717. By order dated
3 August 2016, the Board informed the parties that it intended to dismiss this appeal
unless either party objected within 14 days of the date of the order. The Board has not
received an objection from either party.
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed without prejudice to the prosecution of
ASBCA No. 60717.
