(Reuters) – Google Inc won a small battle in its larger war to make inroads into government contracting when a federal judge ordered the Interior Department to rethink a proposed bid for a contract for email services.
Judge Susan Braden of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C. issued a preliminary injunction that ordered the Interior Department to put on hold a request for a bid to upgrade its email system.
Google’s challenge comes as part of a larger effort to win government contracts for email and other services.
