DOH wins PDMP Bid Protest

Attached you find a link to the Recommended Order by an Administrative Law Judge regarding the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) bid protest.
Let me explain briefly the circumstances for or those who may not know all the details:
The Department of Health (DOH) issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for companies interested in bidding for the PDMP contract. The loosing bidder (Optimum Technology ) protested TWICE the DOH decision to award the contract to a competitor (Health Information Design).
An administrative law judge recommended today that the DOH enter a final order dismissing the Formal Written Protest.
That means the DOH WON the bid protest and may move ahead with the PDMP implementation.
I would expect that the DOH follows state law, awards the contract and moves to implement the PDMP. The only obstacles are the Legislature and the Governor who at this point in time defy state law!
Yours
Bernd
