The U.S. Defense Department has issued formal solicitations to Amazon.com Inc's (NASDAQ: AMZN) Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: MSFT), Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google, and Oracle Corp (NYSE: ORCL) for its Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract, the Federal News Network reports.
The JWCC contract is the multibillion-dollar project replacing the " ill-fated" JEDI Cloud contract.
The decision represents a change from DoD's initial plans for the contract after several months of market research.
In July, when the DOD scrapped the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure contract, it only considered AWS and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: MSFT) as technically proficient at meeting their needs.

Crypto fans count down to bitcoin's 'halving'
Bitcoin enthusiasts were eagerly waiting for bitcoin's 'halving' on Friday - a change to the cryptocurrency's underlying technology designed to cut the rate at which new bitcoins are created. The halving, which happens roughly every four years, was written into Bitcoin's code at its inception by pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto as a way to reduce the rate at which bitcoins are created. Chris Gannatti, Global Head of Research at asset manager WisdomTree, which markets bitcoin exchange-traded funds, called the halving "one of the biggest events in crypto this year".
