Oracle says that the $10 billion JEDI cloud contract bidding process is 'full of impropriety.' Amazon Web Services is widely expected to win.
The battle for the $10 billion Defense Department JEDI contract escalated after Oracle accused Amazon of making"undisclosed employment and bonus offers to Pentagon staff" in an amended lawsuit.
The competition for the $10 billion U.S. Department of Defense contract for the planned Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure project has sparked a heated tit-for-tat between Oracle, which has been eliminated from the bidding process, and Amazon, considered the leading contender to win the deal. "JEDI is riddled with improprieties," the amended Oracle suit, filed last week, said."AWS made undisclosed employment and bonus offers to at least two DoD JEDI officials."
Oracle's suggestion that two Pentagon staff would have maneuvered the process toward Amazon, the Defense Department said at the time, was"illogical." It also accused Oracle of seeking"to engage in a broad fishing expedition primarily to find support for its claim that the solicitation at issue is tainted by alleged conflicts of interest."The heated back and forth is not surprising given what's at stake, analysts say.
