Oracle feels the force of the Supremes

The US Supreme Court gone all death star on Oracle's petition against the Pentagon's vendor selection for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) contract and sent Oracle's mighty briefs packing.

The petition, filed in January 2021, followed the failure of Oracle's legal appeal in federal court. After Microsoft won the JEDI contract, Oracle argued the awarding of the contract to a single source was unlawful according to Congressional restrictions on single-source awards.

The company accused federal circuit courts of taking a hands-off approach when evaluating the complaint and said several Pentagon officials had conflicts of interest concerning Amazon, which bid on the project.

"Federal contracting is rife with potential corruption, and nowhere is that truer than in defense procurements. Each year, billions of dollars of governmental contracts are tainted by the misconduct of agency personnel."
