  • The Pentagon indefinitely delays its final request for proposals for its single-award, multibillion-dollar cloud contract.
  • Spokeswoman Dana White, to Bloomberg: “We are still working on it. It’s important that we don’t rush toward failure.”
  • Tech companies including Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) have objected to the setup of the contract due to concerns that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) will automatically win through market dominance.
  • The delay doesn’t mean the contract will be revised to include multiple winners and the Pentagon says there was no influence from the White House.
  • White: “This remains a full and open competition.”
