ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This appeal arises from an administrative contracting officer's (ACO's) final
decision asserting a government monetary claim based on allegedly unallowable direct
costs under 11 contracts. The parties jointly request dismissal of this appeal without
prejudice because the ACO has since withdrawn the final decision due to a lack of
authority to issue the decision because the contracts at issue were contracts over which
the ACO had no cognizance. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed from the Board's
docket without prejudice.
