                                 ORDER
 
        On January  31, 1992, Vantage Engineering  and Construction,
   Inc., filed an appeal from the unilateral decision of the General
   Services Administration contracting officer  relative to Contract
   Number GS-07P-91-HUC-0001.   That  contract was  for a  sprinkler
   system  and miscellaneous fire safety improvements to the Federal
   Building and Courthouse, Roswell, New Mexico.  
 
        The decision  appealed from involved a  unilateral deductive
   change order in  the amount of $11,362.77, deleting elevator work
   from the scope of the contract.   The contracting officer did not
   accept appellant's representation that it had bid  $6,000 for the
   deleted work.  
 
        After docketing  the appeal  and receiving  the answer,  the
   parties advised us that they had settled the appeal by increasing
   the  contract  price  by  $4,000  and  requested  dismissal  with
   prejudice.  
 
        Pursuant to  Rule 28(a)(1),  this appeal  is DISMISSED  WITH
   PREJUDICE.
