Google and Amazon are seeking to gain market share in the government software market, taking advantage of the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) efforts to improve efficiency in the federal government.
Both companies are lobbying Congress and the DOGE liaisons at federal agencies to open up government contracts to more companies and avoid 'predatory' licensing agreements.
Google aims to provide more software to government agencies, while Amazon is focusing on cloud computing.
DOGE was created to update software and technology in the federal government and increase efficiency and productivity.
