                                 ORDER
 
        This protest was filed by Technology Advancement Group, Inc.
   (TAG).  Protester  challenges a recent decision by  the Air Force
   to purchase  certain automatic  data processing  equipment off  a
   non-mandatory   schedule  contract   of   the  General   Services
   Administration.  
 
        Protester's request to  suspend the Air Force  delegation of
   procurement authority applicable to  this procurement was  denied
   by the Board  as untimely.  The Air  Force, however, advised that
   it  would not  complete the  purchase until  it had  reviewed the
   facts relating to this procurement.  
 
        By  letter dated August 28, 1995,  Air Force counsel advised
   protester  and the Board that, after careful consideration of the
   facts, the Air Force had decided to proceed with the procurement.
   Protester's representatives were then asked  by the Board if they
   wished to pursue the protest further.  They replied that they did
   not.  
 
        Accordingly,  the protest is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.  Rule
   28.
