Waiver of competitive selection MCSA0073

The Ohio Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) MCSA0073 is a waiver of competitive selection contract focused on cloud-based technology services. The contract enables procurement of cloud infrastructure and hardware as a service, specifically covering categories including cloud-based infrastructure (UNSPSC 81162200) and cloud-based hardware services (UNSPSC 81161900). This vehicle allows state agencies and potentially other authorized entities to access cloud technology solutions through a pre-negotiated agreement, streamlining the acquisition process for advanced technological infrastructure.

The contract is awarded to Oracle America Inc. and is administered by the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS). The IDV has a defined performance period from the award date of June 5, 2025, through December 31, 2025, providing a focused timeframe for technological procurement. As a waiver of competitive selection contract, it offers a direct path for Ohio state entities to acquire cloud services from Oracle, potentially offering enhanced efficiency and potentially more favorable pricing compared to standard procurement processes.
