                                 ORDER
 
        This protest was filed by  ACTech, Inc. on November 1, 1993.
   It concerns an  award of automatic  data processing equipment  by
   the Department of the Air Force.
 
        On November 4, 1993, the  Board convened a conference of the
   parties to discuss the further processing of this protest.  After
   discussing  the  issues  and  the  limited  possibility  for  any
   meaningful relief,  the Board  agreed to  stay proceedings  until
   November  9 to  permit the parties  to confer.   On that  date, a
   telephonic  status conference  was  to  be  convened  to  discuss
   whether this case should proceed further.
 
        On  November 9,  1993, prior  to  the scheduled  conference,
   protester advised the  Board that  it was  withdrawing its  case.
   Counsel  for respondent  has informed  the Board  that he  has no
   objection to this case being dismissed. 
 
        Accordingly,  this protest  is DISMISSED  WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
   Rule 28.   This dismissal is to be  deemed to be "with prejudice"
   fourteen days following  the date of this order  unless, prior to
   the expiration of  that period, a motion is  filed requesting the
   reinstatement of this protest.
