                                   v.
 
                        DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY,
 
                                           Respondent.

   Before Board Judges DANIELS (Chairman), PARKER, and HENDLEY.
 
   DANIELS, Board Judge.
 
        Materials, Communication  & Computers, Inc., moves the Board
   to order the Government to  reimburse it for $10,000 in costs  it
   incurred in filing and pursuing a  protest against the Department
   of the Navy's conduct of a procurement.  The protest alleged that
   the  agency had violated regulation in eliminating protester from
   the competitive  range.  The  parties settled the case  after the
   agency  admitted that  the  allegation  was  valid.    Materials,
   Communication & Computers, Inc. v. Department of  the Navy, GSBCA
   12707-P (Jan. 5, 1994), 1994 BPD   1.
 
        In its motion, protester maintains that it actually incurred
   more  than  $14,952  in  protest  costs,   but  pursuant  to  its
   settlement agreement, asks the Board  to award only $10,000.  The
   Navy does not oppose the motion.
 
        We find,  based on the  agency's admission, that  the agency
   violated   a  regulation  in   the  conduct  of   the  challenged
   procurement.  40 U.S.C.   759(5)(B) (1988).  We have examined the
   documentation submitted  by protester and find that it shows that
   at least $10,000  was reasonably expended to file  and pursue the
   case.  
 
 
                                Decision
 
        Accordingly,  we  GRANT  protester's motion.    We  award to
   protester the full amount requested,  $10,000.  This sum shall be
   paid, without  interest, from  the permanent indefinite  judgment
   fund,  31  U.S.C.    1304 (1988).    40  U.S.C.   759(f)(5)(C)(i)
   (1988).
