Pentagon asks to reconsider massive cloud contract award amid Amazon challenge

“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.

Amazon praised the court’s decision in a statement.

“We are pleased that the DoD has acknowledged ‘substantial and legitimate’ issues that affected the JEDI award decision, and that corrective action is necessary. We look forward to complete, fair, and effective corrective action that fully insulates the re-evaluation from political influence and corrects the many issues affecting the initial flawed award,” an Amazon Web Services spokesperson said.
