                                 ORDER
 
        On  November 10,  1992, we  dismissed  this protest  without
   prejudice to  its reinstatement no  later than 4:30  p.m. Eastern
   Standard Time  on November 16.   This form of dismissal  had been
   sought  by the parties; the  parties anticipated that by November
   16,   the   intervenor   and   awardee,   Science    Applications
   International  Corporation, would  have  entered  into a  binding
   subcontract  with  the  protester,  CTA  Incorporated,  for   the
   performance of  a portion  of the work  covered by  the protested
   contract. 
 
 
        At 4  p.m. on  November 16, the  parties informed  the Board
   that the  details of  the expected subcontract  had not  yet been
   agreed upon.  Protester asked,  without objection, that the Board
   amend its order  to permit a motion for reinstatement to be filed
   as late as  4:30 p.m. Eastern  Standard Time on  November 18.   A
   written motion to this effect was filed on November 17.
 
        We GRANT protester's unopposed motion and AMEND the order of
   dismissal to  provide that the  dismissal shall  not become  with
   prejudice  to reinstatement until 4:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
   on November 18.  Rule 28(a).
