The article strongly suggests that everyone is far behind AWS and that they therefore think that any such large contract is unwinnable.

Tough.

not only technically-wise. From what i see and hear Google has significant impedance mismatch between internal "googliness" and the "enterprise" style required to do business in the enterprise/gov/mil space. Just imagine a Google's $1M+/year AI PhD doing a support call with a bodyshop consultant maintaining a laundry services accounts payable application for some small Army base.
