                                 ORDER
 
        On August  5, 1994,  DynCorp, Inc.  (DynCorp) protested  the
   Department  of Energy's decision to award a sole-source extension
   of contract  number DE-ACCI-88MA33222  for information  resources
   management  support services to  Computer Data Systems,  Inc.  On
   October 5, 1994, the parties filed a joint motion to dismiss this
   protest without prejudice, stating:
 
             The parties hereby move the Board to dismiss GSBCA
        No. 12926-P without prejudice.   Each party is  to bear
        its own  costs.  This  dismissal shall  convert to  one
        with prejudice  60 days  from the date  of the  Board's
        dismissal unless DynCorp requests  reinstatement of the
        protest prior to that date.  The parties stipulate that
        suspension of the  DPA under the rules of  the GSBCA in
        the  reinstated  protest  shall take  effect  five days
        after the filing of the reinstatement of the protest on
        the same terms and conditions as those contained in the
        suspension  order   issued  in   the  DynCorp   protest
        (12926-P) on August 19, 1994.
 
        Accordingly, this  protest is  DISMISSED WITHOUT  PREJUDICE.
   As   provided  in   Rule 28(b)[foot #] 1  this   case   shall  be
   deemed to have been dismissed with prejudice  sixty calendar days
   from the date of this order.
