Disappointing outcome

摘要

In most states and in federal contracting, a disappointed bidder is typically deemed an interested party who is entitled to file and litigate bid protests. Rarely, however, does a disappointed bidder have the right to protest on the grounds the successful bidder is not a responsible bidder. In other words, protests must be based upon defects in the procurement process, including the bid documents, or the responsiveness of the successful bid. If you bid a highway project in Connecticut, however, your protest rights are even more limited and no bidder may protest for any reason unless it has standing.
