Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, Respondent v. Hugh K. Leatherman, Grady L. Patterson, Luther L. Taylor, Jules J…

Summary

The court held that the Procurement Review Panel could conduct only administrative review initiated by a written protest or application concerning a prior determination, decision, policy, or procedure under the Procurement Code. Because no party protested the computer contract and no Chief Procurement Officer issued a written decision, the Panel lacked authority to initiate a sua sponte investigative hearing. The court affirmed the circuit court's ruling.
