DOT Oracle Cloud Support Services

The Department of Transportation is procuring Oracle Cloud Infrastructure support services under a firm-fixed-price task order issued through the FAA SAVES IDIQ contract, justified exclusively under FAR 16.507-7 due to the unique and non-replaceable capabilities of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The procurement is sole-source, grounded in the necessity to maintain existing Oracle-engineered workloads—specifically for NHTSA’s TRIPRS and PDPS platforms—without re-platforming, as alternative cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP lack native compatibility with Oracle Real Application Clusters, Oracle-specific Security Technical Implementation Guides, and automated patching features critical to mission continuity. Services encompass cloud credits, technical support, and maintenance within a FedRAMP High-authorized OCI Government Cloud region, ensuring alignment with DOT’s Enterprise Infrastructure Solution and the National Airspace Record Management system for performance and latency monitoring. The contract’s place of performance is designated as Washington, D.C., with performance delivered remotely but governed by local oversight from the FHWA IT Acquisition Center of Excellence and DOT’s Office of the Chief Digital & Information Officer. The delivery schedule includes a one-year base period and four optional 12-month extension periods, enabling a maximum contract duration of five years. The contractor must be an Oracle Authorized Government Reseller to ensure access to official updates, technical expertise, and compliance with federal security standards. Key requirements include autonomous database services, dynamic scaling through OCI APIs, integrated identity and access management, Security Zones for policy enforcement, and seamless SIEM integration via OCI Logging and Streaming Services. Inspection and acceptance are conducted by the government at its Washington, D.C. facility based on compliance with FedRAMP High, Oracle STIGs, and interoperability with DOT’s NARM system. No pricing line items, evaluation factors, or contractor representations are included in the documentation, as this is a brand-name justification rather than a full solicitation or contract. Payment responsibilities lie with the FHWA IT ACE, though remittance details and invoicing procedures are not specified. The contracting activity, technical oversight, and price reasonableness determination were validated by FAA and DOT personnel, but specific COR, COTR, or PCO identifiers are not disclosed.
