ORDER OF DISMISSAL 
This appeal arises from a purported 30 November 2016 contracting officer's final 
decision denying a 10 August 2016 Request for Equitable Adjustment (REA). The 
government has asserted that the Board lacks jurisdiction over the appeal because the 
REA was not a claim. The parties have informed the Board that, subsequent to the filing 
of this appeal, the contractor has submitted a claim involving the same matter to the 
contracting officer for a decision. Appellant has stated that it does not object to dismissal 
of this appeal. By Order dated 12 June 2017, 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 received no objection from either party. 
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed without prejudice.
