Key legal question
Is a public-law competence conflict complaint admissible against the federal procurement conflict rule and the commission's decision?
Extracted holding
Yes. The dispute concerned a positive competence conflict between Confederation and canton, and the complaint was admissible without a time limit.
Extracted reasoning
The case was not merely about interpretation of federal law; it also questioned whether the Confederation could adopt a conflict rule that displaced cantonal competence. The canton had a legal interest in resolving the issue for this and future procurements.
