ORDER
 

  CAMPBELL-SMITH, Chief Judge
 

  This is a post-award bid protest. Leonie Industries, LLC (plaintiff or Leonie) is the unsuccessful offeror, and defendant is the United States Department of the Army (defendant, the agency, or Army). The successful offeror is SOS International, LLC (defendant-intervenor or SOSi), who intervened in this matter.
 

  This case involves classified material. The administrative record and all briefing on the parties’ cross-motions for judgment on the administrative record are classified as “Secret” and were - submitted to Mr. Harry Rucker, the U.S. Department of Justice Litigation Security Group Classified Information Security Officer assigned to this matter, for distribution to the court and counsel.
 

  Pending before the court are five motions: Plaintiffs Application for a Temporary Restraining Order, EOF No. 4;
 

 
   *341
   
  Plaintiffs Motion for a Preliminary Injunction, ECF No. 5;
 

  Plaintiffs Corrected Motion for Judgment on the Administrative Record, ECF No. 36;
 

  Defendant’s Corrected Cross-Motion for Judgment on the Administrative Record, ECF No. 53; and
 

  Defendant-intervenor’s Cross-Motion for Judgment on the Administrative Record, ECF No. 48.
 

  Defendant agreed to stay performance of the contract awarded to SOSi until April 13, 2016, to allow resolution of this matter. See Order 2, Feb. 26, 2016, ECF No. 30. Defendant’s voluntary stay eliminated the need for the court to take action on plaintiffs TRO application or motion for a preliminary injunction.
 

  On April 13, 2016, the court heard classified oral argument on the parties’ cross-motions for judgment on the administrative record. At the conclusion of oral argument, the court issued bench rulings denying plaintiffs motion for judgment on the administrative record, and granting defendant’s and defendant-intervenor’s cross-motions for judgment on the administrative record.
 

  On December 8, 2016 the court issued an Opinion in further support of its earlier bench rulings. The court’s Opinion included classified material, and was filed with Mr. Rucker for distribution to counsel.
 

  As explained in the court’s classified Opinion, the court DENIES plaintiffs motion for judgment on the administrative record, GRANTS defendant’s cross-motion for judgment on the administrative record, and GRANTS defendant-intervenor’s cross-motion for judgment on the administrative record. In addition, the court DENIES AS MOOT plaintiffs application for a temporary restraining order and plaintiffs motion for a preliminary injunction. The Clerk of Court shall enter judgment for defendant and defendant-intervenor. No costs.
 

  IT IS SO ORDERED.
