                                 ORDER
 
        During a prehearing conference held on July 2, 1992, in this
   protest  by  Rockwell   International  Corporation,  respondent's
   representative  stated that  the  agency  would  not  oppose  the
   requested  suspension   of  procurement  authority.   The  Board,
   therefore,  suspended the procurement authority of the Department
   of  the Treasury as  applicable to respondent's  Solicitation No.
   IRS-90-018  and Contract Tir-92-0054  for the procurement  of the
   requirements which are the subject  of the same solicitation.  40
   U.S.C.   759(f)(2) (1988).
 
        This  document represents  the written  confirmation of  the
   Board's earlier oral order of suspension.  Rule 19(d).  The order
   will remain in effect until this protest is either decided on the
   merits or dismissed.
