                                 NOTICE
 
        On Friday, July  16, 1993, the Board issued  its opinion and
   decision on the merits of this protest.  The protest was GRANTED.
   Respondent's delegation of  procurement authority was revised  so
   that  ISG's  bid  may  not  be  rejected  as  nonresponsive,  and
   respondent may make award consistent with the Board's opinion, or
   revise  the  solicitation  to   reflect  accurately  its  current
   justifiable needs or otherwise proceed in accordance with statute
   and regulation.
     
        Because the Board's decision contains  information which may
   be considered  by  the parties  to  be procurement  sensitive  or
   proprietary, the Board  initially issued its decision  subject in
   its entirety  to a protective order.  The parties were advised to
   inform  the Board  of any  redactions  they consider  appropriate
   within three  working days from  the time  of the release  of the
   decision to  the parties.   The Board  will then  determine which
   portions of the  opinion will be released  to the public.   If no
   proposed redactions are  received by that time, the decision will
   be released in its entirety.
