                    INTEGRATED SYSTEMS GROUP, INC.,
 
                                                     Appellant,
 
                                   v.
 
                        DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY,
 
                                                     Respondent.
 
 
        Shelton H. Skolnick, Derwood MD, counsel for Protester.
 
        A. Neill Stroud, Eastern Area Counsel
   Acting Office, Camp Lejeune, NC, counsel for Respondent.
 
   Before Board Judges DANIELS, Chief Judge, LaBELLA, and VERGILIO. 
 
   LaBELLA, Board Judge.
 
        Integrated Systems Group,  Inc. (ISG) successfully protested
   the  inclusion  of an  "only  new" requirement  in  a procurement
   conducted by  the Department  of the  Navy.   Integrated  Systems
   Group, Inc.  v Department of  the Navy, GSBCA  12127-P (Novem,ber
   30, 1992).   Having prevailed in  its protest, ISG  now seeks  to
   recover  its costs pursuant to 40  U.S.C.   759 (f)(5)(C) (1988),
   and Board Rule 35.  Protester has submitted its request, together
   with supporting  documentation, totaling  $1,742.   This  request
   includes $1,100.00  for 7.4 hours  of ISG's attorney's  time, and
   $632.00 for 7.9 hours of an ISG corporate officer's time.  
 
        Although  the Government  has no  objection to any  of these
   costs,  the  recent  Full  Board  decision  in  Sterling  Federal
   precludes any award of costs incurred  to pay corporate employees
   to work on a protest.  Sterling Federal Systems, Inc. v. National
   Aeronautic and Space  Administration, GSBCA 10000-C(9835-P), 1992
   BPD   141  (May 22,  1992), appeal  docketed, 92-1552 (Fed.  Cir.
   Sept.  28,  1992).    As   we  are  otherwise  convinced  of  the
   reasonableness  of the requested  amounts, we  award the  cost of
   ISG's attorney, $1,100.00.
 
                                                                   2
 
 
                                Decision
 
        ISG's motion to recover  its costs is GRANTED IN  PART.  ISG
   is  awarded $1,100 as  the reasonable  attorney fees  incurred in
   litigating  this  protest,  to  be  paid,  without  interest,  in
   accordance  with   31  U.S.C.     1304  (1988)   and  40   U.S.C.
     759(f)(5)(C) (1988).
