# §1308.25. Stay of appeal for Contracting Officer's decision.


If an appeal has been taken because of a Contracting Officer's failure to render a timely decision, as provided by [§ 1308.17](/cfr/18/1308.17.md), the Hearing Officer, with or without a motion by a party, may stay proceedings on the appeal in order to obtain a decision on the matter appealed. Oral argument will not be heard on such a motion unless otherwise directed. The stay order will normally set a date certain by which the decision of the Contracting Officer will be rendered. Such date shall take into account the factors mentioned in [§ 1308.13(c)](/cfr/18/1308.13.md?p=c), the length of time the matter has already been pending before the Contracting Officer, and the need for prompt and expeditious action on appeals.
