ORDER PURSUANT TO RULE 1(a)(5) 
DIRECTING CONTRACTING OFFICER TO ISSUE DECISION 
 
The contractor filed, under Rule 1(a)(5), a request for an order directing the 
contracting officers to render decisions on claims submitted April 20, 2022, and April 22, 
2022, prior to June 20, and June 21, 2023, respectively.  The government has advised that 
the final decisions on the claims will be issued by September 12, 2022.  We deem this 
date reasonable. 
 
Accordingly, the Board hereby directs the contracting officers to issue a decision 
on the contractor’s claims by September 12, 2022. 
 
This Order completes all necessary action by the Board.  If the contracting 
officer(s) fails to comply with this Order, such failure will be deemed a decision by the 
contracting officer(s) denying the claim(s), and the contractor may appeal to this Board or 
sue in the United States Court of Federal Claims pursuant to the Contract Disputes Act, 
41 U.S.C. §§ 7103(f)(5), or 7104, as appropriate.
