               OPINION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE SHACKLEFORD

       The parties have notified the Board that the contracting officer's final decision
from which this appeal was taken has been rescinded, and jointly move to dismiss the
appeal with prejudice. When a contracting officer unequivocally rescinds a government
claim, the government's action moots the appeal, leaving the Board without jurisdiction
to entertain the appeal further. Combat Support Assocs., ASBCA Nos. 58945, 58946,
16-1BCA136,288 at 176,974. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed as moot.
