The absence of a formal prohibition does not constitute implied permission sufficient to satisfy the confidentiality and faithful agent obligations under Sections I.4 and II.1.c of the NSPE Code.

While this institutional failure does not exculpate Engineer D from the ethical violations the Board identified, it substantially shifts the moral architecture of the situation: Engineer D was placed in a recurring double bind where faithful adherence to formal procurement channels meant withholding safety-critical information, while providing that information informally violated confidentiality and procurement fairness norms.

The ethical harm is not merely that some contractors received information others did not — it is that the selective sharing arose from an informal network of prior project relationships, meaning that contractors with no prior experience with Engineer D were systematically excluded not by deliberate discrimination but by structural information asymmetry. This is a more insidious form of procurement unfairness than overt favoritism because it is self-reinforcing: contractors who received as-builts once were better positioned to win future bids, further entrenching the informational advantage. Engineer D's good intent in responding to individual requests does not cure this structural distortion, consistent with the principle that good intention does not exculpate procedural impropriety.
