                                 ORDER
 
        On  November  12,   1993,  Electronic  Systems   USA,  Inc.,
   protested the Department of Agriculture's award of a contract for
   a  computerized  system   to  monitor  and  control   office  and
   laboratory  environmental  conditions  and  life  safety  at  the
   Beltsville (Maryland) Agricultural Research  Center.  The protest
   alleges that the agency acted improperly in determining  that the
   system offered by Electronic Systems was technically unacceptable
   and  that  the  system  offered  by  the  awardee  did  meet  all
   specifications.
 
        On December  7, protester  informed  the Board  that it  has
   "decided to drop the above-referenced case."  
 
        In  accordance  with  protester's request,  the  protest  is
   DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
