$9 billion Pentagon cloud contract split by Google, Amazon, Microsoft

Written by ABC AUDIO on December 12, 2022

WASHINGTON D.C.: The Pentagon has awarded cloud computing contracts worth $9 billion to Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Oracle.

The Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) is the multi-cloud program intended to replace the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI), an IT modernization project aimed at creating a large, common commercial cloud for the Department of Defense.

Running until 2028, the divided contracts will provide an enterprise-wide, globally available cloud service across all security domains and classification levels to the US Department of Defense, according to the contract announcement.

In a statement, US Navy Commander Jessica McNulty, spokesperson of the Department of Defense, said that the JWCC was a multiple-award procurement composed of four contracts, with a shared total value of $9 billion.

The Pentagon, which had delayed its decision to award an enterprise-wide JWCC contract, tried to previously move to the cloud using the JEDI concept, but the proposal was ended by litigation related to the procurement process.

The deal will bring the military more in line with private-sector companies, which split their cloud computing work among multiple vendors.
