                                 ORDER
 
        On  April  20,  1993,  Management   Systems  Services,  Inc.
   protested that the placement of an order by the Department of the
   Treasury's   Customs   Service   against   a   General   Services
   Administration non-mandatory schedule contract  had been contrary
   to regulatory requirements.
 
        At a conference convened by the Board, the parties discussed
   the protest and indicated a  preference for attempting to resolve
   their differences voluntarily.  On April 30, the parties reported
   that  they  had  been  successful  in  settling  the  case;  they
   submitted a joint stipulation requesting the Board to dismiss the
   protest with prejudice.
 
        In  accordance with this  request, the protest  is DISMISSED
   WITH PREJUDICE.  Rule 28(a).
