                                 ORDER
 
        On January 21, 1993, University Systems, Inc. filed with the
   Board  a protest  (which it  amended on  January 22)  involving a
   solicitation issued by the respondent,  the Department of the Air
   Force.     Protester  alleges  that  the  specifications  contain
   ambiguities and inconsistencies.
 
        On January 28, 1993, protester  filed a motion for dismissal
   with prejudice.  The agency  does not object.  International Data
   Products, Corporation (IDP) filed a notice of intervention, which
   is inadequate--it fails to state intervenor's "position regarding
   the  protest"--Rule 5(a)(3)(i).  That  matter need not be pursued
   because IDP does not object to the requested dismissal.
     
        Accordingly,  the  protest  is   DISMISSED  WITH  PREJUDICE.
   Rule 28(a).
