                              ORDER OF DISMISSAL

       By notice of appeal dated 6 April 2015, Environmental Chemical Corporation
(appellant) appealed from an apparent contracting officer's final decision, dated
7 January 2015, denying appellant's $936,973.30 claim. By letter dated 27 April
2015, appellant requested the Board to dismiss this appeal without prejudice, but
offered no explanation for its request. By telephone on 28 April 2015, the parties
explained that appellant's original claim submission, in response to which the final
decision had been issued, was not certified. Therefore, appellant intends to withdraw
this appeal and submit a certified claim to the contracting officer for decision.

       The government having no objection to appellant's request, this appeal is
dismissed without prejudice to appellant's submission of a claim to the contracting
officer in accordance with the Contract Disputes Act, 41 U.S.C. § 7103.
