(Bloomberg) A Federal Claims Court judge on Wednesday declined to toss out Amazon.com Inc.âs claims that political interference cost the company a lucrative Pentagon cloud contract, throwing the entire project into doubt.
Judge Patricia Campbell-Smith in Washington rejected requests by the government and Microsoft Corp., which was awarded the cloud deal in October 2019, to dismiss Amazonâs bias allegations because the company failed to raise them early enough. Her full opinion in the matter was filed under seal.
