OPINION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE SHACKLEFORD 
On December 8, 2017, a contracting officer issued a final decision asserting a 
government monetary claim for alleged noncompliance of Cost Accounting Standards 
under the captioned contracts. The decision was addressed to "Textron Corporation 
(Parent of Beechcraft Corporation)." In the notice of appeal, counsel for appellant 
asserted that the proper contractor under the captioned contracts is Beechcraft Defense 
Company, LLC.* Appellant subsequently moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of 
* Counsel also asserted that Beech craft Defense Company, LLC has changed its name 
to Textron Aviation Defense LLC and is awaiting government approval of the 
novation. 

subject matter jurisdiction, asserting that the final decision did not assert a claim 
against a "contractor" under the Contract Disputes Act, 41 U.S.C. §§ 7101-7109. 
The government does not oppose dismissal. Further, the government has 
notified the Board that the contracting officer rescinded the December 8, 2017 final 
decision and provided copies of a final decision dated May 17, 2018, that states that 
the final decision dated December 8, 2017, is rescinded and replaced by the final 
decision dated May 17, 2018. Where a contracting officer unequivocally rescinds a 
final decision asserting a government claim, there is no longer any claim before the 
Board to adjudicate, and the Board has dismissed the appeal as moot. URS Federal 
Support Services, Inc., ASBCA No. 60364, 17-1 BCA ,r 36,587 at 178,204; Combat 
Support Associates, ASBCA Nos. 58945, 58946, 16-1 BCA ,r 36,288 at 176,973. 
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed as moot.
