OPINION OF THE COURT
WEIS, Circuit Judge.
In this government contract case, the district court denied a preliminary injunction requested by a disappointed bidder. The suit was brought after another builder was selected but before a contract was executed. Whether the dispute is viewed as a pre or post-award case, we hold that the United States Claims Court is not the exclusive forum and the district court had jurisdiction. Concluding that on the merits the plaintiff failed to show illegality or irrationality in the defendants’ decision, we will affirm the district court’s order.
