Today's decision comes after the Defense Department requested the Federal Court in March to provide it with at least 120 days to re-evaluate the decision. The same court had ordered the agency to suspend work on the contract in February, after Amazon.com, Inc, which had originally been expected to win the order challenged the Defense Department's decision in court. > Even as it successfully clears the Pentagon's re-evaluation, Microsoft will be unable to commence its responsibilities under the contract worth $10 billion due to the Federal Court's February injunction that stopped the JEDI cloud from going live a day before it was scheduled to do so. The court had granted the injunction based on its evaluation of Amazon's technical challenges to the award, which dealt with the Pentagon's evaluation of data storage capabilities.
