   appearing for protester.

                                 Order
 
        Protester, Berkshire  Computer Products, filed  this protest
   on October 13, 1992, contending that the equipment offered by the
   awardee in  this procurement conducted  by the Department  of the
   Army does  not meet  the requirements of  the solicitation.   The
   parties have now filed with  the Board a settlement agreement and
   an accompanying joint stipulation of dismissal.  The parties have
   not  specified whether  the dismissal  is to  be with  or without
   prejudice.    Each  side  will,  however,  bear  its  own  costs,
   including attorney's fees.
 
        Accordingly, this  protest is  dismissed without  prejudice.
   The dismissal  converts to one  with prejudice ten  calendar days
   after  the date  of this  order.   The  Board's suspension  order
   lapses by its own terms.

                                     Acting Chief Board Judge
