                                 ORDER
 
        On  September  30,  1994,  NCI  Information   Systems,  Inc.
   protested  an award  by the  Department of  the Treasury,  United
   States Secret  Service, of a  contract for the management  of its
   mainframe facilities  to Advanced  Management, Inc.  (AMI).   The
   first count of protest  alleged by NCI stated that the agency had
   failed to give  offerors prompt notification of award as required
   by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).  
 
        A hearing  on Count I,  and NCI's request for  a suspension,
   was convened on  October 11, 1994, and was adjourned prior to its
   conclusion  to  afford the  parties  an  opportunity to  reach  a
   settlement.  On October 18, 1994, three parties, NCI, respondent,
   and  intervenor  Automated Systems  and Programming,  Inc. (ASPI)
   filed a "Settlement Agreement and Joint Motion to Dismiss Count I
   of  the  Protest Complaint."    That agreement,  which  the Board
   neither approves nor disapproves, provides for dismissal of Count
   I  of NCI's  protest  with  prejudice.   No  other  party has  an
   objection to the settlement agreement.
 
        In accordance with the joint  motion of the parties, Count I
   is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.  Rule 28(a).
