                                                Protester,
 
                                   v.
 
                        DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY,

   Respondent.
 
   Before Board Judges DANIELS (Chairman), PARKER, and NEILL.
 
   DANIELS, Board Judge.
 
        Cyberchron Corporation's protest  against the Department  of
   the Navy's  award of  a contract for  the supply  of rack-mounted
   ruggedized  computers was resolved  promptly by settlement.   The
   agency admitted  that the award  was based on an  erroneous price
   evaluation;  it terminated  the  originally-awarded contract  and
   made an  award  to  Cyberchron  instead.    Cyberchron  Corp.  v.
   Department of the  Navy, GSBCA 13042-P, 1994 BPD    263 (Nov. 14,
   1994).
 
        Following  dismissal  of  the  case,  Cyberchron   filed  an
   application for an award of costs incurred in filing and pursuing
   the protest.  The amount of reimbursement requested is $6,800.
 
        The  terms of  the  settlement  agreement  make  plain  that
   Cyberchron  was the prevailing  party in the  protest: the agency
   admitted a  pivotal violation of  law and gave the  protester all
   that it  sought in  bringing the case.   Cyberchron  has provided
   documentation  showing that it  spent $6,906.20 in  attorney fees
   and  miscellaneous  litigation-related  expenses  in  filing  and
   pursuing the protest.  The Navy has no objection  to our granting
   the amount 
   requested, $6,800.   We  find that this  amount is  reasonable in
   light of the complexity and duration of the case.
 
 
                                Decision
 
        We  consequently GRANT Cyberchron's application and award to
   this  firm the sum  of $6,800.   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) (1988).
