Amazon.com has taken to the courts once again in a bid to get a $10 billion Pentagon contract that was awarded to Microsoft invalidated, according to Reuters.
In a redacted court filing from October 23rd that was unsealed yesterday, Amazon (AMZN) reiterated its stance that the awarding of the contract to Microsoft (MSFT) must be overturned because it was granted in bad faith and that President Donald Trump used his influence to manipulate the contract.
Trump has publicly criticized the company and Amazon head, Jeff Bezos in the past. Amazon has called the decision flawed and politically corrupt.
Amazon was a front-runner to win the contract and filed its initial lawsuit in November 2019, after the contract was awarded to Miscrosoft. A judge granted Amazon’s request to temporarily halt the deal from moving forward in February.
The Defense Department stated in a court-ordered re-evaluation in September that Microsoft’s proposal represented the best value for the government. Amazon responded on Tuesday saying that its cloud computing solutions are the lowest priced by tens of millions of dollars.
Microsoft retorted by saying, “career procurement officials at the DoD (Department of Defense) decided that given the superior technical advantages and overall value, we continued to offer the best solution.”
