                                 ORDER
 
        On March  12, 1993,  System Automation  Corporation filed  a
   protest   at  the  Board  concerning  a  solicitation  issued  by
   respondent,  Department of the  Treasury, for the  acquisition of
   automatic data  processing services.   The  protest alleged  that
   respondent was failing to obtain  full and open competition under
   solicitation number CS-93-004.  Specifically, protester contended
   that the agency was unfairly favoring the incumbent  by including
   in  the  solicitation  requirements  which  exceed  the  agency's
   minimum needs.
 
        On  March 31, 1993,  protester filed a  notice of settlement
   and requested that  the protest be dismissed.   Respondent has no
   objection to the dismissal.
 
        Accordingly, this protest is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.  Rule
   28(a).   The suspension of respondent's delegation of procurement
   authority lapses by its own terms.
