Computer Shoppe v. State Tennessee

This appeal concerns the Tennessee Claims Commissions jurisdiction to consider a complaint filed by an unsuccessful bidder after the Commissioner of General Services rejected all the bids for a statewide microcomputer system. The bidder sought to recover its costs for software modifications made at the States request during the procurement process. The Commission found that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction and dismissed the complaint. We have determined that the complaint states a claim upon which relief can be granted and, therefore, reverse the Commissions decision.
