                                 ORDER
 
        On   November   4,   1993,  International   Data   Products,
   Corporation filed  this protest  of the award  of a  contract for
   laser printers by the Department of the Navy.
 
        On  November  9,  the  Board  received  a  letter  from  the
   protester which stated:
 
                  International Data Products,  Corp. considers
             that it was correct  to protest the award made  in
             the  above captioned  solicitation, since  we were
             the  low  bidder  and   our  bid  was  technically
             responsive.   However, we were  informed yesterday
             that  the  Navy  has  accepted   delivery  of  the
             procured equipment as  of November 5, 1993.   This
             being the case,  this Board would, in  IDP's view,
             be unable to provide us adequate relief if we were
             to succeed on  the merits.  Thus,  we respectfully
             withdraw our protest and thank you for your time.
 
        This  protest is DISMISSED  WITHOUT PREJUDICE.   Rule 28(a).
   The dismissal  shall become one  with prejudice  on November  22,
   1993, unless it is reinstated prior to that date.
