   proposals   for  the   design,   engineering,  furnishing,   site

   telecommunications  system.    On July  8,  1993,  Telcom Systems
   Services,  Inc. filed  a protest  with  the Board  concerning the
   terms of the solicitation.
 
        On  August 17,  1993, the  parties filed  a joint  motion to
   dismiss the protest, with prejudice.
 
        Accordingly, this protest is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.  Rule
   28(a).   The suspension of respondent's delegation of procurement
   authority lapses by its terms.
