Notice of Intent to Sole Source Department of Defense Enterprise Software Initiative (DoD ESI) for Oracle

The Department of the Navy's Naval Information Warfare Center, Pacific (NIWC Pacific) has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source contract N66001-26-D-0020 to Oracle America, Inc. for Department of Defense Enterprise Software Initiative (DoD ESI) products and services. This special notice, posted on December 5, 2025, and updated on December 18, 2025, announces the Navy's intent to award a sole-source contract rather than conduct full and open competition. The sole-source justification is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(c)(1), which authorizes procurement from a single responsible source when no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Market research conducted by the Navy indicates that direct procurement from Oracle yields higher minimum discounts and represents a more efficient contracting approach than utilizing resellers.

The contract covers Oracle commercial products and services, including software licenses, maintenance, support renewals, Software as a Service (SaaS), hardware, engineered systems, Advanced Customer Services, and consulting services to support Department of Defense enterprise IT operations. This is an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with a five-year base period and a five-year option period, valued at approximately $7.13 billion with firm-fixed-pricing. Interested parties must submit responses to this synopsis through the System for Award Management (SAM) website by December 25, 2025, at 1500 PST. The contract will be accessible to the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and Coast Guard, with an estimated award date in January 2025. This procurement falls under NAICS Code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a $47 million size standard and is subject to FAR Part 15 (Contracting by Negotiation) and FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) requirements.
