                                 ORDER
 
        On  January 21,  1993,  International  Data Products,  Corp.
   (IDP) filed  the instant  protest challenging  the Department  of
   Health and Human Services' Social Security Administration's award
   of a contract to Win Laboratories, Ltd. under solicitation number
   SSA-RFP-92-1118  for  automatic data  processing  equipment.   On
   February 17, 1993, IDP filed a motion to dismiss the protest with
   prejudice.
 
        Accordingly,  the  protest  is   DISMISSED  WITH  PREJUDICE.
   Rule 28(a).   All motions to  dismiss IDP's protest  are rendered
   moot.
 
        The  Board does  not now  decide whether  I-Net, Inc.'s  (I-
   Net's) intervention survives as a viable protest.  However, while
   the Board  is considering that  matter, IDP will be  dropped from
   the caption of  this case, and I-Net  will be substituted  as the
   party protester.  The case number will remain the same.
