This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity under FAR Part 16 for the U.S. Army Recruiting and Accessions Support Command (USAREC). The procurement is for TOAD for Oracle software annual maintenance for the Recruiting Services Network (RSN) at the U.S. Army's Mission Installation Contracting Center (MICC) at Fort Knox, KY. The acquisition covers Oracle database licenses and maintenance for a three-year period from 15 August 2025 to 14 August 2028, with specific quantities of 40 TOAD for Oracle DBA Edition per seat term licenses and 60 TOAD Data Point Professional Edition per named user term licenses for each base and option year.

The justification highlights that USAREC has invested significantly in this Oracle software infrastructure since 2014 and requires continued maintenance from the original equipment manufacturer to ensure cybersecurity compliance and meet technical requirements. Market research was conducted using the CHESS ITES-SW2 platform, with 28 vendors approached and four showing interest. The total contract value is redacted, but the procurement is being pursued competitively through the CHESS contract vehicle, with efforts to promote competition among registered vendors, including large and small businesses. The contract will support USAREC's database management and application development environment for corporate applications.
