I've heard requests for proposals (RFPs) in Washington will often be specified so that only a single vendor could meet the requirements. Is that what happened here, where the Pentagon's Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) RFP depended on implementation details of AWS?
And to a larger point, can anyone elaborate on whether what I've heard is true? Has litigation or sunlight through advocacy against the government worked in those cases?
