Annotation for 184 S.W.3d 68

Bid protestor was entitled to seek judicial review of the award of the contract for statewide genetic testing services for the 2004 fiscal year, which was made to another vendor, even though the contract had expired as a protestor has standing to seek judicial review as such a matter presents a case and controversy despite the contract ending. However, judgment in favor of the various Commonwealth of Kentucky agencies and the winning bid maker was upheld on appeal, because the substance of the protestor’s complaint alleged alternative interpretation of the bid terms, which was a discretion afforded to the Commonwealth as a contracting officer in a negotiated procurement, and the protestor provided no valid reason, such as fraud, in challenging the award to the winning bid maker. Lab. Corp. of Am. Holdings v. Rudolph, 184 S.W.3d 68, 2005 Ky. App. LEXIS 169 (Ky. Ct. App. 2005).
