                                 ORDER
 
        On August  20, 1993, ViGYAN,  Inc., filed a  protest against
   the  award  of  a  contract   to  NYMA,  Inc.,  by  the  National
   Aeronautics  and  Space  Administration  (NASA)  for  Scientific,
   Engineering,  Technical,  Administrative   and  Related  Services
   (SETARS) for NASA's Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio.  On
   August 23,  Modern Technologies  Corporation (MTC)  also filed  a
   protest against the  same award.  During  a prehearing conference
   with  the  Board  on  August  26, 1993,  the  two  protests  were
   consolidated.     ViGYAN  and  MTC  intervened  in  each  other's
   protests, and  United International Engineering,  Inc. (UIE),  I-
   NET, Inc., and NYMA, Inc., each  intervened in both protests.  I-
   NET withdrew its interventions on September 22, 1993.
 
        A  consolidated hearing on the merits was held September 29-
   30, 1993.  On October 1, MTC moved for voluntary dismissal of its
   protest and  intervention.  On  October 5, ViGYAN also  moved for
   voluntary  dismissal of  its protest  and  intervention, and  UIE
   moved for  dismissal of  its interventions.   NASA and  NYMA have
   both concurred in the dismissal.  Accordingly, these protests are
   DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.   Rule 28(a).   This dismissal shall
   convert to a  dismissal with prejudice five days from the date of
   this order  unless a party  moves for reinstatement prior  to the
   expiration  of the five-day period.  The Board's order suspending
   respondent's delegation  of procurement authority  lapses by  its
   own terms.
