                                 ORDER
 
        On September 27, 1993, the Board docketed a protest filed by
   Coastal Computer Consultants Corporation.   The protester alleged
   that the respondent, the Department  of the Interior, at the U.S.
   Geological Survey's Minerals Management Service, made an improper
   award  for automatic data processing  equipment to other than the
   lowest responsive offeror.
 
        On  September 30, 1993,  the Board received  the protester's
   motion to dismiss, which states:
 
              Coastal    Computer    Consultants    Corporation
        ("protester") hereby withdraws its protest and requests
        that  the  General  Services  Administration  Board  of
        Contract  Appeals  ("Board") dismiss  the  protest with
        prejudice.
 
              The  counsel for the  Department of  the Interior
        ("Respondent")  is  aware  of this  motion  and  has no
        objection to the motion.
 
        Accordingly,  the protest is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.  Rule
   28(a).
