The word you are looking for is orgy.
Jedi Cloud was a program for the DOD to establish a Cloud based computer backup in the event of a massive cyber crash of the DOD mainframes. The Name Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) <Also a minor Starwars refrence>and of course Modern Cloud based computer storage.
Two names came to the top of the bids with enough capacity Amazon owner by Jeff Bezos and Microsoft. Oracle was also bidding but Amazon and Microsoft were the finalists.
Not the usual names on Military programs I know but they have the capacity and want the program. Then a DOD Staffer Deap Ubhi who was a former Amazon employee and is back as one Tweeted “Once Team Amazon, Always Team Amazon” which raised heckles for people watching the program.
Amazon looked like it was about to get a sole source contract and that also raised some hairs.
The Pentagon is a huge organization why put all the eggs in one basket? Some fell that the appearance of possible rigging is a huge issue others feel that putting it all on Amazon makes a potential risk point. In the later that even two sources might be not enough redundancy.
So how this plays out is both a political and critical defense issue.
Will it be Amazon Strikes back, Return of the multiple vender JEDI, or A New Hope on the Cloud?

Iran Has Hundreds of Naval Mines. U.S. Navy Minesweepers Find Old Dishwashers and Car Parts.
As tensions heat up in the Persian Gulf, the Navy’s minesweeping fleet may once again be called into action, but its sailors say the ships are too old and broken to do the job. “We are essentially the ships that the Navy forgot.”

The Problem still would have been there only it would be Airbus getting paid for it.
If the boom had not met USAF specifications they never would have accepted the ones they have or paid for it. If it had been the contractor Boeing would be on the hook for the $55.5 Million. The Problem came about after a review of the specs determined the issue. Because the Boom fit the established design specs the Air Force was at fault.
