MICROSOFT CORP secured a $9.69 billion five-year contract from the United States Department of Defense on Wednesday to consolidate software licensing across the military. The agreement aggregates fragmented procurement from the armed services, intelligence community, and Coast Guard into a single vehicle. This consolidation secures Microsoft's enterprise-wide dominance in federal defense spending while eliminating duplicative costs from decentralized purchasing.
