        Valix Federal Partnership I prevailed in its protest against
   the conduct  of a procurement for microcomputers  by the National
   Transportation  Safety Board, respondent.  The Board directed the
   agency  to terminate  two  contracts it  had  awarded and  permit
   competition  to fill whatever requirements the agency might have.
   Valix  Federal Partnership  I  v. National  Transportation Safety
   Board, GSBCA 12109-P (Nov. 3, 1992).
 
        On December 2,  1992, protester filed a motion  for an award
   of the costs it incurred in prosecuting the protest.  We docketed
   the motion as GSBCA 12203-C(12109-P).  The costs were itemized to
   be $1,547.50.  We asked respondent to respond to the motion.
 
        On December 4,  the parties filed a joint  motion to dismiss
   the cost case with prejudice.   They reported that respondent has
   agreed to pay protester, within  the next thirty days, the entire
   sum requested.
 
        This cost case is now DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.  Rule 28(a).
