When that column was written, the Maryland Court of Appeals had not yet decided the pending appeal of this case. In August, the court decided the appeal holding that mere pre-approval/pre-qualification is not a "procurement" creating claim rights for a pre-approved supplier against the state. This holding does not change the rights of a bidder to protest an approval or qualification determination. This case is notable not because of the final result, but for the precedent it did not set and the limitation preserved. |
