About this file
This is a Sole Source Determination and Justification document issued by the Department of Consumer and Business Services in Oregon, prepared by Procurement Specialist Nicholas Brooks and approved by Designated Procurement Officer Miriha Aglietti on December 28, 2023. The document establishes the justification for a sole source procurement of Oracle University training platform licenses. The Agency plans to purchase three new one-year licenses for Oracle University to provide specialized training on Oracle Database Functions to staff members. The procurement does not include specific response dates, site visits, or bidder meetings, as sole source procurements bypass competitive bidding processes. The anticipated award date is not explicitly stated in the document, though the determination was completed on December 28, 2023.
The estimated total contract value is $25,000, representing the cumulative spend for Oracle University services. The Agency previously purchased two licenses for $9,990.00 in October 2022, which expired on October 19, 2023, and now seeks three new one-year licenses for $14,985.00. The sole source justification is based on compatibility findings, as Oracle University must be directly integrated with existing Agency Oracle accounts and is the only training platform officially endorsed by Oracle for Oracle product training. The procurement must be conducted directly through Oracle, as the service cannot be obtained through alternative vendors. No set-asides, incumbent vendor information, or alternative funding sources are mentioned in the documentation.
