                       AMENDED ORDER OF DISMISSAL
 
        This protest was filed by Interactive Systems, Inc. (ISI) on
   July 27, 1995.  ISI contends  that a contract award by the  Small
   Business Administration (SBA) to Data Management Associates, Inc.
   (Data Management) was contrary  to statute and regulation.   Data
   Management has  intervened in this  protest as  an intervenor  of
   right.  
 
        By order  dated August 24,  1995, we dismissed  this protest
   without  prejudice.    The  dismissal  was  to  be  deemed  "with
   prejudice" in the event no  party moved to reinstate this protest
   within thirty days from the date of the order.  
 
        On Friday,  September  22, counsel  for  protester  formally
   suggested that  the aforementioned thirty-day period  be extended
   by an additional two weeks.  Although SBA originally opposed this
   proposal, in  a  conference  convened by  the  Board  on  Monday,
   September 25, it withdrew its objection.  
 
        Accordingly, in the  absence of objection, the  Board amends
   its order of  August 24 dismissing this protest.   The thirty-day
   period  referenced  in  that  order  is  hereby  extended  by  an
   additional fourteen days.
