The motion would allow service providers to resubmit portions of their proposals for a new review by the DoD.
In a motion filed with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims on Thursday, lawyers asked for the court to grant the DoD "120 days to reconsider certain aspects of the challenged agency decision." The DoD would use the time to amend its solicitation of proposals and allow "limited" revisions addressing the provider's technical approach to a specific price scenario.
The providers could only adjust the solutions they already proposed, not propose new storage solutions, under the terms requested by the government. The DoD would also reevaluate the providers' "online marketplace offerings" and "reconsider its award decision in response to the other technical challenges presented by AWS."
Microsoft did not oppose the motion, according to the filing, but counsel for AWS told the government it did and planned to file its own motion in response.In the statement, a spokesperson for Amazon Web Services said, "We are pleased that the DoD has acknowledged 'substantial and legitimate' issues that affected the JEDI award decision, and that corrective action is necessary.
