                                 ORDER
 
        On  March 22,  1993, Integrated  Systems  Group, Inc.  (ISG)
   protested the  award of  a contract under  the Department  of the
   Army's Commerce  Business Daily  (CBD) notice  dated November  5,
   1992, for general purpose automatic data processing equipment.
 
        During the prehearing  conference convened  in this  protest
   counsel for  the Army admitted  that the Army failed  to give ISG
   notice  of  award  and  failed  to  issue  a  solicitation  after
   receiving responses  to its CBD notice.  Instead the Army made an
   award  to  an  entity  which  did not  have  a  General  Services
   Administration schedule contract based  upon that firm's response
   to  the  CBD  notice.    The  Army  recognized  that  under  such
   circumstances a  solicitation should  have been  issued and  took
   corrective action  to ensure  that this  problem will not  recur.
   There being no further issue  in controversy, the Board, with the
   concurrence  of the parties, dismisses the protest with prejudice
   and,  noting that  the  agency  admitted  violations of  law  and
   regulation, authorizes theprotester to file a Rule35 cost motion.
 
        The  protest  is   DISMISSED  WITH  PREJUDICE.     Rule  28.
   Protester may file a cost petition within thirty days of the date
   of this order in accordance with Rule 35.
