Key legal question
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite the procurement exception for cases raising a question of principle
Extracted holding
The public-law appeal was not admissible because the appellants did not show a cognizable question of principle under the federal procedural rules.
Extracted reasoning
Although the contract value exceeded the relevant threshold, the court held that the procurement issues raised were not open to review by the public-law appeal absent a qualifying principle question.
