   Intervenor Win Laboratories, Ltd.
 
   WILLIAMS, Board Judge.
 
        On  January 21,  1993,  International Data  Products,  Corp.
   (IDP) filed a  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 25,  1993, IDP's protest  was dismissed  with prejudice.
   While  the Board considered  the matter of  whether I-Net, Inc.'s
   (I-Net's) intervention could survive as a viable protest, IDP was
   dropped from the  caption of this case and  I-Net was substituted
   as  the party  protester.   On March  3,  1993, before  the Board
   decided whether I-Net's intervention survived as a protest, I-Net
   filed a motion to dismiss its "protest" with prejudice.
 
 
        Accordingly,  this   case  is   DISMISSED  WITH   PREJUDICE.
   Rule 28(a).     The  suspension  of  respondent's  delegation  of
   procurement authority lapses by its terms.
