               OPINION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE THRASHER

        By correspondence dated August 10, 2023, appellant rescinded and withdrew
its claim which forms the basis for this appeal. Appellant has moved to dismiss the
appeal as moot and the government does not object. When a claim is unequivocally
rescinded, the action moots the appeal, leaving the Board without jurisdiction
to entertain the appeal further. Combat Support Associates, ASBCA Nos. 58945,
58946, 16-1 BCA ¶ 36,288 at 176,973; Management Resource Associates, Inc.,
ASBCA No. 49620, 96-2 BCA ¶ 28,588 at 142,736. Accordingly, the appeal is
dismissed as moot.
