   DEVINE, Board Judge.
 
                                 ORDER
 
        This protest was  filed on March  9, 1993.   It appeared  to
   deal with a request for  proposals (RFP) issued by the Department
   of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)  to perform the work of  a
   public housing  authority in  handling  certain residential  real
   estate under the  control of HUD  as a  result of what  protester
   refers  to  as the  Gautreaux  Consent  Decree.   Since  the  RFP
   appeared to deal with matters not within the jurisdiction of this
   Board,  a state  of facts  confirmed by a  telephone conversation
   with protester's president, Shirley A. Street, on March 11, 1993,
   protester  was directed  to show  cause, on  or before  March 25,
   1993, why this protest should not be dismissed with prejudice for
   lack of jurisdiction.  Protester has not responded in any  way to
   the  Board's  show cause  order.   Accordingly,  this  protest is
   DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION.
