   PARKER, Board Judge.
 
                                 ORDER
 
        On July 30, 1993, CBIS  Federal Inc. filed this protest with
   the  Board,  alleging that  the  General Services  Administration
   failed   to  adhere  to  statute  and  regulation  in  evaluating
   proposals for  a solicitation  for the  procurement of  automatic
   data processing equipment.
 
        On August 5, the Board  received a notice of withdrawal from
   counsel for protester that provided as follows:
 
                  CBIS  Federal  Inc. ("CBIS  Federal")  hereby
             withdraws that  portion of  its Amended Notice  of
             Intervention of Right and Protest Complaint (filed
             with  the Board on  July 30, 1993  and docketed as
             GSBCA No. 12514-P),  which constitutes a  protest,
             and requests  that the  Board dismiss  the protest
 
             without   prejudice.     This  dismissal   without
             prejudice  reflects   the  understanding   of  the
             parties to the above-captioned protest, and  Judge
             Parker, as discussed during a conference call held
             on Monday, August 2, 1993, that by withdrawing the
             protest  and  requesting   its  dismissal  without
             prejudice,  CBIS  Federal   preserves  all  issues
             raised  therein.   Should CBIS  Federal  decide to
             raise these  issues in  the future,  they will  be
             timely raised, if timely as of June 30.
 
                  To  the extent  that  its  Amended Notice  of
             Intervention  of Right  and  Protest Complaint  in
             GSBCA No. 12514-P  expands on the original  Notice
             of Intervention, the document is not withdrawn.
 
        In accordance  with the  terms of  the protester's  request,
   this protest is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.  Rule 28(a).
