US court dismisses Oracle lawsuit over $10-bn Pentagon contract

A US federal court has dismissed Oracle's lawsuit against the US Department of Defence's decade-long $10-billion JEDI cloud contract. The lawsuit had alleged the Pentagon's contract with a single-vendor award was unfair and illegal. Oracle, which didn't meet the criteria for a bid, had claimed the contract violates federal procurement laws and is 'unfairly tainted' by conflicts of interests.
