I hope a little more openness will prevail this time around. Other bidders, as well as the public, are owed a look at the competing offers so they can conclude the UA made the best decision, on business, if not taste. The competitive bid process has been good for public disclosure. I've just learned you can find out every last detail of the existing detail, including individual machine sales, on the university procurement website.
