                       AMENDED ORDER OF DISMISSAL
 
        This protest was  filed with the  Board on June 4,  1992, by
   Universal Automation Labs, Inc. (UAL).  UAL protested the conduct
   of an acquisition  of automatic data processing equipment  by the
   Federal  Aviation Administration (FAA).   By order dated June 22,
   1992, we dismissed  this protest without prejudice  pursuant to a
   settlement  agreement of the parties.  Universal Automation Labs,
   Inc.   v.   Department   of    Transportation,   GSBCA   11867-P,
   1992 BPD   166.  
 
        Upon joint motion  and cause  shown, the  Board amended  the
   June 22, 1992,  dismissal  order  on  September 16,  1992.    The
   amended  dismissal  order   provided  for  a  dismissal   without
   prejudice to refiling on or before December 1, 1992.  On December
   1,  1992,  protester  moved  to  extend  the  time  within  which
   protester may refile its protest to January 15, 1993.  Respondent
   does not object to this motion.  We, therefore, grant the motion.
 
        The  Board's dismissal  order  of  September  16,  1992,  is
   amended  as  follows:  (a)  this  protest  is  dismissed  without
   prejudice  to  refiling  on  or  before  January  15,  1993;  (b)
   subsequent to  that date,  this dismissal shall  be deemed  to be
   with  prejudice,  unless a  party,  before that  date,  moves for
   reinstatement  of the protest or unless protester, following that
   date,  successfully  convinces  the  Board  that  respondent  has
   breached  a term  or failed  to comply  with a  condition of  the
   amended  stipulation; and  (c) one  year  from the  date of  this
   order,  this  dismissal shall  be  deemed  to be  with  prejudice
   without exception.
