About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS) through the Oklahoma City Area Indian Health Center has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Oracle America, Inc. for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software support services. The contract, valued at $1,500,000 and funded through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, will provide critical IT support services including Functional Help Desk operations, extension and integration management, regression testing, critical business process management, and periodic SaaS update support. The services are required for IHS's Identified Supported Programs hosted in Oracle's FEDRAMP-compliant and DISA IL4-authorized US Government Cloud. The agency is utilizing FAR 6.302-1 authority, citing that Oracle is the sole proprietary developer and only licensed source capable of providing these specialized services without interrupting patient care operations.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to announce the government's intent to proceed with a non-competitive procurement rather than seek competitive proposals, as the agency has determined that only Oracle can provide the necessary support for their newly implemented Oracle software systems. Interested parties have until August 16, 2025, at 4:00 PM CDT to submit written responses demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. Responses must be submitted to designated government email addresses, and the agency emphasizes that this notice is not a request for competitive proposals. The contract will support mission-critical IT systems including Human Capital Management (HCM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Supply Chain Management (SCM) that are essential for healthcare delivery operations. The government reserves the right to use any non-proprietary technical information received in future solicitations and maintains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with the sole source award based on any responses received.
