Google gets second shot at federal cloud contract, faces uphill fight | Gov-Con Solutions Blog | Gov-Con Solutions - Financial, Accounting & Educational Solutions for Government Contractors Article Excerpt: One year ago, Google sued the US Department of the Interior because it felt slighted over the agency’s wanting to use Microsoft’s cloud instead of Google Apps.

As part of a regular compliance review, OFCCP requested basic pay data from United Space Alliance, a spaceflight operations company with $8 billion in NASA contracts. While the company provided some information at the beginning of the investigation, it refused to provide additional records OFCCP needed to complete the review. Taxpayers should have confidence that their dollars are never being used to discriminate.
