The Pentagon, intent on avoiding a “rush to failure,” has delayed indefinitely its final request for proposals that will spell out requirements for a multibillion-dollar cloud contract, according to spokeswoman Dana White.
“We are still working on it,” White said Thursday of the document Defense Department officials had said they’d hoped to release by now. Citing extensive industry interest, she said, “It’s important that we don’t rush toward failure.”
