The Court of Federal Claims determined it had jurisdiction over a protest of the government's refusal to consider a concept paper for research and development funding because, for protests challenging solicitations for a proposed contract or proposed award, the court's jurisdiction is not limited to procurement matters. The government solicited concept papers with the intent to provide funding for promising energy-related technologies. According to the protester, the government wrongfully refused to accept his paper for consideration. The government moved to dismiss, arguing the solicitation did not relate to procurement and therefore the court lacked jurisdiction.
