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

       Advanced Technology International d/b/a SCRA Applied R&D petitions the
Board to issue an Order pursuant to Board Rule l(a)(5) directing the contracting
officer to issue a decision on its 19 June 2014 claim. The Defense Logistics Agency
Troop Support, a field activity of the Defense Logistics Agency, advises that the
contracting officer will issue a decision on the contractor's claim by 22 January 2015.
The contractor does not object to that date.

       Accordingly, the Board hereby directs the contracting officer to issue a decision
on the contractor's claim by 22 January 2015.

       This Order completes all necessary action by the Board. If the contracting
officer fails to comply with this Order, such failure will be deemed a decision by the
contracting officer denying the claim, and the contractor 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), 7104.
