2 BUFORD v. SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE

of the Air Force argues for dismissal, and Ms. Buford urges the court to retain jurisdiction. This court’s jurisdiction over decisions of “agency board[s] of contract appeals” is limited to “final decision[s]” made “pursuant to section 7107(a)(1) of title 41.” 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(10). We have long held that “only Board deci- sions on contract claims covered by the Contract Disputes Act, are within (what is now) section 7107(a)(1)’s reference to a ‘decision of an agency board.’” See Sheridan Transp. Sys., Inc. v. Gen. Servs. Admin., 651 F. App’x 987, 988 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (collecting cases). Here, Ms. Buford is attempt- ing to appeal a Board decision on a claim under 31 U.S.C. § 3702(a)(3) for civilian employee federal travel claims. Be- cause such decision is not a decision within § 7107(a)(1), and therefore outside this court’s review authority under § 1295(a)(10), we dismiss. 1 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The appeal is dismissed.

1 No party here has asked this court to transfer this case under 28 U.S.C. § 1631, and the court takes no posi- tion here on whether the United States Court of Federal Claims or a United States District Court would have juris- diction over a complaint filed by Ms. Buford seeking reim- bursement of travel expenses.
