Judge rules against NSTec and Honeywell in Leidos case
As expected, this was over fast and went against the intervention. Next up is likely to be the Court ruling against DoE and in favor of Leidos.
"Contractor teams looking to plead their cases on a contract dispute between Leidos Holdings Inc. (NYSE: LDOS) and the Department of Energy won’t be able to, with a federal court denying their motions to intervene last Thursday, according to court documents filed Tuesday.
Court of Federal Claims Judge Loren Smith ruled that the contractor teams looking to get in on the dispute “have no real interest in this dispute, as 'interest' is legally understood,” according to court documents."

Someone here either loves Leidos or hates NNSA.
Or, it could have been decided on the legal merits. Imagine.
"Someone here either loves Leidos or hates NNSA."
Well everyone hates NNSA so that does not narrow it down very much, so I would guess a Leidos lover.
The decision had nothing to do with the Leidos protest. It was a narrow ruling addressing the standing of other bidders to intervene in the case (effectively allowing them to support the Department of Justice with free legal services). Because the case centers on the rescission of the contract, the judge ruled that the other bidders do not have standing.

False, this meant that DOE was wrong and Leidos should get the contract plus extra money for any inconvenience. This is how I want to see it, this is how I need to see it, and this this how I will see it. I have no interest in reality and do not recognize it's authority. I have my vision of the world and that is that.

SO you obviously realize that your vision isn't real.
My guess: NNSA wanted to award the contract to the LLC now owned by Leidos, knowing that ownership had changed or was in the process of changing. Then one of the other bidders threatened to sue because they found out that Lockheed did not follow the official notification rules. NNSA rescinded the award because their lawyers told them to, Leidos sued, NSTEC and Honeywell sued, and now it's in the courts. But NNSA still wants to award the contract to Leidos as the best of the "anyone but NSTEC" crowd.
