    I dunno what “Fedramp compliant” means? Presumably Apple and Google aren’t bidding for these contracts, which are the ones with the power to change the industry.

      Its the whole point of this point in this thread. A set of standards the company has to meet to be able to do government work.

      Presumably Apple and Google aren’t bidding for these contracts, which are the ones with the power to change the industry.

      Google is, so is Microsoft as is Amazon which is also the point of this post. They had to meet the security and interoperability standards to get the government work. No amount of donor money allows a company to bypass Fedramp compliance for this work.
