A02-(Final)_Justification OTFOC_Oracle Software Database License Renewal_12317937_20250922_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Simplified Acquisitions Valued Below $250K, specifically a brand name specification for Oracle Software Database License Renewal. The United States Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC), Aberdeen Test Center (ATC), and Test Information Management and Software Support (TIMSS) are acquiring Oracle software licenses and support services for a 12-month subscription period from 30 September 2025 to 29 September 2026.

The justification indicates that Oracle and its authorized dealers are the sole providers of software support solutions for Oracle products, with the hardware products being compatible only with Oracle support. Market research, including reviews of government databases and procurement portals, confirmed no viable alternatives exist. The recommendation is to award a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order for 12 months using SAM.gov as the procurement platform, with the total value falling below the $250,000 simplified acquisition threshold. The procurement is funded under RDT&E (2040) and follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii) for brand name specification.
