Amazon is accusing the Pentagon of awarding the military's cloud computing contract to Microsoft based on “improper pressure from President Donald J. Trump,” the technology giant said in a redacted version of a legal complaint
The complaint says Pentagon officials made multiple “egregious errors” in its evaluation of bids from Amazon and Microsoft for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, program, an effort worth up to $10 billion to bring the Defense Department’s intelligence and other data into one system that can be accessed around the world.
In October, an aide to former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis published a book that said Trump called his defense chief in 2018 and told him to "screw Amazon" out of the JEDI contract. Amazon alleges that the Pentagon changed the requirements in a way to disadvantage the technology giant following these remarks from Trump.
The complaint also alleges that the source selection advisory council disregarded previous evaluations that found Amazon’s technology “extraordinary.”
