The Pentagon “wishes to reconsider” the award of its controversial cloud computing contract that Microsoft won in October
, according to court documents released Thursday evening.
The Defense Department said in a filing that it wanted to take another look at some technical aspects of the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure contract in light of both Amazon’s lawsuit after losing the up-to-$10 billion contract to Microsoft and a judge’s recent comments that Amazon’s case is “likely to succeed.” It did not, however, agree that President Donald Trump’s disparagement of Amazon influenced the Pentagon’s decision making, one of the core tenants of Amazon’s argument.
“A remand here is in the interests of justice because it will provide the agency with an opportunity to reconsider the award decision at issue in light of AWS’s allegations, this Court’s opinion, and any new information gathered during the proposed remand,” the Pentagon wrote in the filing. At the end of the 120 days, both the government and Amazon would decide if they wanted to pursue further action in the courts.“We are pleased that the DoD has acknowledged ‘substantial and legitimate' issues that affected the JEDI award decision, and that corrective action is necessary.
