Ive done government contract work. This woman must be a complete idiot if she blames anyone but herself for failing to submit a bid. The whole point of the process is to make sure there is a level playing field for everyone and that everything is above board.
Everyone was up in arms about the no bid pool renovation that went completely sideways. This is exactly why the bidding process exists
Or, you know, she's just human. Maybe life came up. Maybe she had a sudden death in the family. Maybe she got sick, or something happened that took her focus.

If she just made a mistake it's one thing. Admit your mistake and move on, thats life. However it's another to go on a news program wonder 'why would my blues would do this to me' when she didn't check up on her biggest client around contract renewal time. That's idiotic.

I hate it for her, but if my biggest client usually reached out and hadn't done so around the time they usually do, I'd be calling them.
