# Defense News Reviews Historical Acquisitions

Defense News’ archive page collects editorial and opinion pieces, mainly from 2019–2021, about historical defense procurement decisions: the DoD’s JEDI cloud award to Microsoft and Amazon’s protest, Navy submarine shipbuilding, and the Army’s Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle acquisition. The page is not a current solicitation or award notice and provides no active deadlines, contract values, or procurement contacts. For procurement professionals and contractors, it offers historical context on defense competition and acquisition decisions, but does not identify a present bidding opportunity.

- The JEDI coverage concerns a past DoD cloud procurement involving Microsoft as awardee and Amazon as bidder; it should not be treated as an open competition.
- The Navy submarine and Army vehicle articles address separate historical acquisition areas, not a single current program or market requirement.
- The archive provides no current solicitation details, contract values, or contacts on which to base a bid or proposal action.
