Why DoD may have given Amazon every reason to protest JEDI

Under a law Congress passed two years ago, the Pentagon is supposed to give losing contractors a lot more details about why their bids weren’t chosen. But according to Amazon Web Services, the Defense Department flat-out ignored that law after it awarded the JEDI Cloud contract to Microsoft.

Hear his findings on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.
