                  ORDER PURSUANT TO BOARD RULE l(a)(5)
            DIRECTING CONTRACTING OFFICER TO ISSUE DECISION

        L3 Harris Technologies, Inc. (petitioner) filed a request, under Rule l(a)(5), for an
order directing the contracting officer (CO) to render a decision on a September 18, 2019
certified claim within a specified period of time. In its December 22, 2019 response, the
government stated a contracting officer' s final decision will be issued by
January 31 , 2020. We deem this date reasonable. Accordingly, the Board hereby directs
the CO to issue a decision on the petitioner' s claim by January 31 , 2020.

       This Order completes all necessary action by the Board. If the CO fails to comply
with this Order, such failure will be deemed a decision by the CO denying the claim, and
the petitioner 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.

       Dated: January 9, 2020
