Content: 19-2326. The Defense Department reasonably concluded an Amazon employee who joined DOD to work on JEDI and then returned to Amazon didn’t provide the company with competitively useful information, the claims court said in July. JEDI “suffers from corruption of a high order,” and DOD may not “proceed with a procurement indifferent to such misconduct,” Oracle told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in its opening brief. 2. Boeing’s Accounting Appeal
Boeing Co. is appealing the claims court’s dismissal of its legal challenge to the government’s withholding of $1 million in a contracts accounting dispute in The Boeing Co. v. United States, Fed. Cir., No. 19-2148. The government was “shaking down” Boeing, the company said in its effort to seek contractual and declaratory relief. The claims court erroneously decided Boeing waived the right to raise claims because the company didn’t inquire into an accounting rule ambiguity on entering into a $66 million U.S. Navy contract, Boeing told the Federal Circuit.
