ORDER PURSUANT TO RULE l(a)(5) 
DIRECTING CONTRACTING OFFICER TO ISSUE DECISION 
The contractor filed, under Rule 1 (a)( 5 ), a request for an order directing 
the 
contracting officer to render a decision on a 12 February 2015 monetary claim for 
$486,257 .07. The government has advised that a final decision on the claim will be 
issued by 19 August 2016. We deem this date reasonable. 
Accordingly, the Board hereby directs the contracting officer to issue a decision 
on the contractor's claim by 19 August 2016. 
This Order completes all necessary action by the Board. If the contracting 
officer fails to comply with this Order, such failure will be deemed a decision by the 
contracting officer denying the claim, 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) and 7104.
