                           ORDER OF DISMISSAL
 
        On  July 21,  1992, Electronic  Systems  & Associates,  Inc.
   filed  a motion  for  reimbursement  of  costs  incurred  in  the
   successful  pursuit  of  a  protest  against  the  conduct  of  a
   procurement by the  Department of the Air Force.   See Electronic
   Systems & Associates, Inc. v.  Department of the Air Force, GSBCA
   11883-P, 1992 BPD   187 (July 15,  1992).  The amount sought  was
   $14,462 -- $14,282  in salaries of protester's personnel and $180
   in telephone, facsimile transmission, and courier costs.
 
        In response, the Air Force noted that as decided in Sterling
   Federal   Systems,  Inc.   v.   National   Aeronautics  &   Space
   Administration, GSBCA  10000-C(9835-P), 1992 BPD    141 (May  22,
   1992) (full Board), in-house personnel costs incurred in pursuing
   a  protest may  not  be awarded  by  the Board.    On August  26,
   protester acknowledged the application of this decision and asked
   that the cost motion be dismissed with prejudice.
 
        This case is now DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.  Rule 28(a).
