                                 ORDER
 
        On  January 20, 1995, General Technology Inc. protested that
   the Environmental  Protection Agency  should not  have awarded  a
   contract  to Stephens Engineering  Company because  Stephens' bid
   was  non-responsive.  The  solicitation requested bids  for three
   items pertaining to local area network operating system software.
   Protester alleged that  as to one of the  items, Stephens offered
   less than the full quantity required.
 
        On February 8, the protest was withdrawn.  The parties agree
   that the case should be, and it now is, DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
   The Board's order of January 27 suspending the agency's authority
   to proceed with contract performance lapses by its own terms.
