The Defense Department has spent over $5.3 million so far administering the stalled JEDI procurement – but that’s not counting the time of DoD lawyers engaged in over a year of legal battles.

Like JEDI, DEOS is a multi-billion dollar cloud program held up for months by protests from losing bidders. This morning, the Pentagon reaffirmed General Dynamics as the winner, but cut the contract’s estimated value nearly in half.

One urged the Pentagon to push the embattled cloud computing contract through. Two said kill it. One said JEDI is still worth saving — but it’s running out of time.

While the judge has paused the trial to let the Pentagon redo part of the cloud computing competition, acquisition guru Bill Greenwalt warns any victory for either side will be “pyrrhic.”
