                                 ORDER
 
        On April 1, 1993, the Board docketed a protest filed by Data
   General Corporation  (Data General) under solicitation number SS-
   2455.  Data  General protested the respondent  conducting further
   negotiations after  tentatively selecting Data General  for award
   of the contract. 
 
        On April  5, 1993, Integration Technologies Group intervened
   in the protest.
 
        On April 7,  1993, we held a prehearing  conference with the
   parties for  the  purpose  of establishing  a  plan  for  further
   proceedings  in the protest.  At that time we issued our standard
   protective order.   During the prehearing conference,  respondent
   elected  not  to contest  the  suspension, and  we  suspended the
   procurement at  that time.  The parties proceeded with discovery.
   A merits hearing was scheduled for May 10, 1993.
 
        On  April 16,  1993,  the respondent  moved  to dismiss  the
   protest  on the grounds  that the Board  lacked jurisdiction over
   the  Board of  Governors  of  the Federal  Reserve  System.   The
   intervenor joined in that motion.  The protester responded to the
   respondent's  motion,  and  thereafter,  further  responses  were
   obtained from the parties.
 
        On May 7,  1993, the Board was given to  understand that the
   parties were settling the case,  which was confirmed by letter of
   May  10,  1993.    On  May  11,  1993,  the  Board  received  the
   protester's motion to dismiss the protest with prejudice.
 
        Accordingly, the motion to dismiss  is granted.  The protest
   is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.  Rule  28(a).  The suspension of the
   respondent's delegation  of procurement  authority lapses  by its
   own terms.
