How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that the protestor waived its OCI claim when it knew the allegedly-conflicted party was participating in the procurement, and reiterating the rule that “if there is a patent ambiguity or error in the solicitation, a plaintiff must seek redress in court prior to award”
• waiver of a protest ground founded on an alleged OCI that was known to the protestor before bids were submitted
• “As the Federal Circuit has recognized, challenges to the technical scoring involve the minutiae of the procurement process, discretionary determinations of procurement officials that a court will not second guess.”
• “[T]he Federal Circuit extended the time a protestor may file a pre-award protest from the ‘close of the bidding process’ as articulated in Blue & Gold to any time before award is made.”
• “Despite the different procedural mechanisms, the standard of review for resolving bid protests is substantially the same whether the protest is brought under § 1491(a) as a breach of an implied contract or as a traditional bid protest under § 1491(b).”
