The World Wide Public Sector (PS) Business Contracts team (BC team) is a specialized team within Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) responsible for managing the complex contract procurement process and compliance obligations for PS customers globally. PS contracts impose numerous bespoke requirements not typically present in the commercial sector including specialized documentation, compliance activities, audit requests, etc. Government agencies are required to work within the confines of stringent statutory requirements and acquisition policy regulations.

These requirements can pose a set of risks that include serious consequences for non-compliance, which can include administrative penalties (e.g., suspension and debarment, which can have significant ripple effects), monetary penalties, and criminal penalties including imprisonment, all of which make contractual compliance essential to our PS business and the continued viability of AWS.
