                                 ORDER
 
        Protester,  Petrocredit  Corporation,   filed  this  protest
   against the General Services Administration (GSA) on February 24,
   1994.  Petrocredit  alleges that the GSA's election  to modify an
   existing  contract with MultiService  Corporation to  provide for
   magnetic  encoding  of  fleet fuel  purchase  cards  and for  the
   maintenance of a  database is outside the scope  of the contract.
   The  Board convened  the parties  in  a prehearing  conference on
   March  2, 1994, and discussed  possible problems with the Board's
   jurisdiction over this  protest, as respondent contends  that the
   protested  procurement  action  does not  involve  automated data
   processing  equipment  (ADPE).  The  parties  were authorized  to
   conduct written discovery.
 
        On  March 7,  as  a result  of answers  provided  by GSA  to
   Petrocredit  in  response  to  discovery  requests,   Petrocredit
   withdrew its protest to this  Board.  Respondent has no objection
   to the withdrawal.  Accordingly, this protest is DISMISSED.  Rule
   28(a).
