About this file
This is a Sole-Source Determination and Justification document from the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, issued by Procurement Specialist Nicholas Brooks to Designated Procurement Officer Miriha Aglietti on December 17, 2024. The document authorizes a sole-source contract for Oracle University training platform licenses totaling $34,965.00. The Agency seeks to purchase two one-year licenses for Oracle University, a training platform designed specifically for Oracle product education. Oracle University must be directly integrated with existing Agency Oracle accounts and can only be purchased through Oracle. The Agency has previously purchased Oracle University licenses on October 20, 2022 ($9,990.00 for two licenses, expired October 19, 2023) and on January 5, 2024 ($14,985.00 for three licenses, expiring January 5, 2025). The current procurement will bring cumulative spend to $34,965.00. No specific contract term renewal options or site visits are detailed in this justification document.
The sole-source determination is justified under OAR 125-247-0275(2)(a) based on compatibility findings, as Oracle University is the only training platform endorsed by Oracle for its products and is the only service that can integrate directly with the Agency's existing Oracle accounts. The Agency conducted independent internet research confirming that no alternative solutions provide equivalent specialized knowledge and personalized experience. Oracle University may only be purchased directly from Oracle and requires connection to existing Agency accounts, making it the sole available source. No protests were received for the prior sole-source determination issued on December 28, 2023. The approval was certified by Adobe Acrobat Sign on December 17, 2024, at 21:12:32 UTC.
