Undisclosed Available Resource State

Class 5b9d7103
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#UndisclosedAvailableResourceState
Definition

State in which a public agency possesses existing technical documents (such as as-built drawings) that are materially relevant to bidders' or contractors' ability to accurately scope and price work, but those documents are not referenced or made available in bid solicitation materials — creating an information asymmetry between the agency and prospective contractors, and raising ethical questions about whether the omission is equitable, whether selective post-award disclosure advantages some contractors over others, and whether pre-bid disclosure should be standard practice.
