                                 ORDER
 
        Master  Security, Inc.,  provided security  services  to the
   Social  Security  Administration  at  a  facility  in  Baltimore,
   Maryland.  After the contract had been fulfilled, Master Security
   claimed that the agency had improperly calculated the  amounts of
   money which  should have been  paid for those services,  and that
   the total amount  due was greater than  what had been paid.   The
   contracting  officer did not issue decisions on Master Security's
   two claims, and the contractor appealed from her deemed denial of
   the claims.  We docketed  as GSBCA 15088-SSA the appeal involving
   recalculations of amounts due based on hours worked, and as GSBCA
   15089-SSA  the appeal  involving  recalculations of  amounts  due
   based on implementation of a contract  clause adjusting the price
   consequent to wage increases.
 
        After  the  appeals  were filed,  the  parties  promptly and
   professionally   exchanged  detailed   justifications  of   their
   positions, discussed the matters as to which  they disagreed, and
   voluntarily settled the disputes.  The contractor then asked that
   the appeals be withdrawn.
 
        Accordingly, the cases are DISMISSED.
