   Before Board Judges WILLIAMS, VERGILIO, and GOODMAN.
 
   VERGILIO, Board Judge.
 
        On December 1,  1993, Integrated Systems Group,  Inc., filed
   with the  Board this motion for the award  of its costs of filing
   and  successfully pursuing the underlying protest.  The protester
   seeks to recover a total  of $15,684, which represents $15,244 in
   hourly attorney  fees and $440  in transcript costs.   The agency
   does  not  object to  the  award of  the  requested  costs.   The
   protester having  prevailed in  the underlying  protest, and  all
   costs being  reasonable and  reimbursable, the  Board grants  the
   motion.
 
                            Findings of Fact
 
        By opinion  dated November 3,  1993, this Board  granted the
   underlying protest.  Having determined that the agency improperly
   excluded  the  protester from  the  competitive range  as  it was
   finalizing  the terms of the solicitation,  the Board revised the
   agency's  procurement  authority  to  require  it  to  place  the
   protester in the  competitive range.  Integrated  Systems Groups,
   Inc.  v. Department  of  Agriculture,  GSBCA  12552-P,  94-1  BCA
     26,556, 1993 BPD   337.
 
        Documentation  in the  record supports  the  requested costs
   (for  attorney fees  and a  copy  of the  hearing transcript)  of
   filing and pursuing the protest.
 
                               Discussion
 
        The protester  seeks  to recover  $15,684  as its  costs  of
   filing and pursuing the underlying  protest.  The agency does not
   object to the requested award.
 
        The  protester prevailed  in the  underlying  protest.   The
   requested costs were incurred in filing and pursuing the protest,
   are reasonable, and,  as attorney fees and transcript  costs, are
   of the variety found by this Board to be reimbursable.
 
                                Decision
 
        The Board GRANTS the motion for recovery of $15,684 as costs
   of filing and pursuing the protest.  The awarded amount is  to be
   paid  in accordance  with  statute.    40  U.S.C.    759(f)(5)(C)
   (1988); 31 U.S.C.   1304 (1988).
