Why Google Decided to Give JEDI a Wide Berth

Alphabet’s (GOOGL) Google has decided not to bid on a huge Pentagon cloud contract worth as much as $10 billion per year that could last as long as ten years. The Pentagon is taking bids for the so-called JEDI (Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure) cloud project after releasing final requirements for the project in July. Google said that it would not bid for the JEDI contract because it couldn’t obtain sufficient assurance that the project would align with its corporate values.
