                                 ORDER
 
        This protest was filed on  September 30, 1992, by Life Cycle
   Technology Corporation  (LCT).   It concerns  the procurement  of
   automatic data processing  support services by the  United States
   Customs   Service.    LCT  contends  that  the  certification  of
   independent   price  determination   provided  by   the  apparent
   successful offeror is false and that  any award would, therefore,
   be contrary to law and regulation.  A&T  Systems, Inc. (A&T), the
   apparent successful offeror, has intervened in this protest as an
   intervenor of right.  
 
        On October 30, protester and respondent filed with the Board
   a stipulation in which they have agreed  to the dismissal of this
   case with prejudice.  
 
        Accordingly,  pursuant   to  Rule  28(a),  this  protest  is
   dismissed  with  prejudice.    The  Board's order  of  October  5
   suspending respondent's  delegation of procurement  authority, as
   applicable  to  the procurement  which  is  the  subject of  this
   protest, lapses by its own terms.
