                           ORDER OF DISMISSAL
 
        On  February  7,  1994,  Diversified  Business  Technologies
   Corporation (DBT) protested  the terms of a  solicitation, issued
   by  the Department  of the  Interior, to  obtain a  software site
   license  and associated  services.   On  February  25, 1994,  the
   parties filed a joint  motion to dismiss the  protest, indicating
   that they have entered into a settlement agreement providing that
   respondent will pay DBT certain of its costs.
 
        In accordance with the joint motion to dismiss, this protest
   is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.  Rule 28(a).  The dismissal shall
   convert to one with prejudice upon the issuance of payment by the
   Department of  the Interior to  DBT of the  aforementioned costs.
   The suspension  of respondent's procurement  authority lapses  by
   its terms.
