                                 ORDER
 
        On  July  6, 1993,  CBIS  Federal  Inc. protested  that  the
   Department of  the Interior's  award to  Computer Based  Systems,
   Incorporated,   of  a  contract  for  automatic  data  processing
   services was  in violation of law.   The protest alleges that the
   agency's  technical, cost,  and best  value analyses  of  the two
   offerors' proposals were all in error.
 
        At the  initial conference convened by the  Board to discuss
   this case,  counsel for all  parties suggested that  they jointly
   review the agency's file regarding the subject procurement before
   scheduling  further proceedings.  The agency made those documents
   available promptly, on the morning of July 12.
 
 
        On  the afternoon of July  12, following counsel's review of
   relevant documents, CBIS  Federal Inc. filed an  unopposed motion
   to dismiss the case with prejudice.  
 
        The Board now so DISMISSES the protest.  Our order of July 8
   suspending the agency's  authority to acquire services  under the
   contract while the protest is pending lapses with the issuance of
   this order.  40 U.S.C.   759(f)(3) (1988).
