                                 ORDER
 
        This protest was filed by Interactive Systems, Inc. (ISI) on
   July 27,  1995.  ISI contends that a  contract award by the Small
   Business Administration to Data Management Associates, Inc. (Data
   Management)  was  contrary  to  statute  and  regulation.    Data
   Management has  intervened in  this protest as  an intervenor  of
   right.  
 
        On Thursday,  August 24,  after conferring  with the  Board,
   counsel for the  parties advised the Board that  they had reached
   settlement  and moved  that  the  protest  be  dismissed  without
   prejudice, to be deemed dismissed  with prejudice if no motion to
   reinstate the protest is brought within thirty days from the date
   of this order.    
 
 
        The  Board grants  the motion.   This  protest  is DISMISSED
   WITHOUT PREJUDICE.   This  dismissal shall be  deemed to  be with
   prejudice if no motion to reinstate the protest is brought within
   thirty days from  the date of this  order.  The Board's  order of
   August 1, as  amended on  August 8,  expires in  accord with  its
   terms.
