Pentagon Reconsiders Microsoft Contract After Amazon Protest

Associated Press

   The Pentagon is reconsidering its awarding of a major cloud computing
   contract to Microsoft after rival tech giant Amazon protested what it
   called a flawed bidding process.

   U.S. government lawyers said in a court filing this week that the
   Defense Department "wishes to reconsider its award decision" and take
   another look at how it evaluated technical aspects of the companies'
   proposals to run the $10 billion computing project.

   The filing doesn't address Amazon's broader argument that the bidding
   was improperly influenced by President Donald Trump's dislike of Amazon
   and its CEO, Jeff Bezos. Bezos owns The Washington Post, a news outlet
   with which Trump has often clashed.
