This effort focuses on the maintenance and enhancement of Oracle eBS applications, including R12.2.X and Fusion versions, within secure government-approved environments encompassing development, test, training, staging, and production systems. Contractors must deliver a full spectrum of technical services including system design and development, software maintenance, performance monitoring, database management, integration, migration, configuration management, Section 508 compliance, documentation updates, helpdesk support, diagnostics, and COTS upgrades, all aligned with strict DoD cybersecurity and operational standards. Deliverables are governed by a defined Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) that mandates submission of critical reports such as Monthly Status Reports, Phase-In and Phase-Out Transition Plans, Software Transition Plans, and Vacancy and Turnover Reports, all subject to government inspection and acceptance at the Kettering, Ohio location near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. All participating vendors must be certified as 8(a) small businesses under NAICS code 541519 and must self-certify their size status and socioeconomic eligibility in their response. Technical personnel are required to hold DoD IAT-II cybersecurity certifications, undergo Tier 5 background investigations, obtain Common Access Cards (CAC), and complete mandatory annual training in cyber awareness, CUI handling, force protection, and anti-terrorism policies. Contractors must comply with DFARS 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information and implement NIST SP 800-171 controls on non-DoD systems. Cloud operations must meet IL4-specific security requirements and demonstrate proven experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Exadata Cloud Services. Telework is permitted only with prior written approval from the Contracting Officer, and all personnel must be proficient in Microsoft Office tools. Responses are limited to a 10-page capabilities statement submitted via email by the June 17, 2026 deadline to the designated contracting point of contact.
