“Germany’s Interior Ministry is reviewing rules for awarding government contracts for computer and communications equipment and services as a political rift with the U.S. widens, people familiar with the matter said. Details are being worked out and may require suppliers of components of a bidder’s goods or services to guarantee they don’t hand over confidential data. Any tightening of procurement procedures could affect U.S. technology companies such asInternational Business Machines Corp. (IBM), Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) as they vie for government contracts.”
