DOD Consolidates Contracts Under Single Vehicle For Efficiency
The Pentagon has announced a nearly $7 billion deal with Oracle to consolidate all of the company’s software, services, and licenses used across the department under a single contract vehicle. The Enterprise Software Agreement aims to optimize how the DOD, Coast Guard, and Intelligence Community purchase software licenses from Oracle, and is expected to save the department millions of dollars. According to the Pentagon, the structure will not only streamline IT procurement but also support quicker delivery of software capabilities to warfighters. This development was first reported by an unknown source.
