IMAGISTICS INTERNATIONAL, INC., v. DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
Following the rejection of its protest to the award of a public contract to real party in interest Sharp Electronics Corp. (Sharp), plaintiff Imagistics International, Inc. (Imagistics) filed the present petition for a peremptory writ of mandate directing defendant DGS to accept its protest, or for a declaration that the award of the contract to Sharp was void. In bifurcated proceedings, the trial court first found that the standard of strict compliance was appropriate for the procedures for filing a protest, which plaintiff Imagistics had not satisfied. In its subsequent order, it did not find any basis for excusing plaintiff Imagistics from exhausting this administrative remedy.
Plaintiff Imagistics promptly appealed. It renews its arguments here, as well as invoking new ones for the first time. Court affirm.
