                                 ORDER
 
        Appellant filed  this appeal  with the  Board on  October 8,
   1991.  The appeal is  from a contracting officer's decision dated
   July 9  concerning a vehicle purchased from  the General Services
   Administration, which  appellant alleges  was misdescribed.   The
   contracting  officer's final decision  was issued on  October 17.
   The  Board   received  appellant's  complaint  on   November  26.
   Respondent's  Rule 4  appeal  file was  received on  December 16.
   Respondent's answer to the complaint was received on February 18,
   1992.  On  April 7 the  Board issued a  scheduling order in  this
   appeal, and procedural  elections were to be  submitted by May 7.
   The Board, not having received any response from either party, on
   July 23, issued an order to show cause  by August 3 why the Board
   should not  dismiss this  appeal with  prejudice  for failure  to
   prosecute.  Neither party responded.
 
 
       This appeal is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE FOR FAILURE TO
   PROSECUTE.  Rule 28(b).
