The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is seeking to procure Oracle and Java licenses through a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract as detailed in the Limited Source Justification. This action, necessary to meet HUD’s operational needs, includes a range of perpetual license types for various Oracle products, with a projected value of approximately $26.18 million over a five-year period from December 1, 2024, to November 30, 2029.
The contracting activity falls under the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer with the authority grounded in FAR 8.405-6, owing to the specialized nature of the licensing and services required. Market research revealed three small businesses capable of fulfilling the requirements, allowing for a competitive procurement. It was determined that this contract action represents the best value for HUD, promoting compliance with established licensing standards while fulfilling technical and security specifications.
The justification emphasizes that existing licenses are foundational to HUD’s operations and addresses market dynamics that favor small business involvement, underscoring HUD's commitment to effective procurement practices while ensuring continuity in IT support through recognized software solutions.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) submitted a request for an individual waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule to procure Oracle and Java Licenses for the Oracle Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) software suite, necessary for HUD's operational and development needs. This procurement aims to ensure continuity and support for licenses originally acquired in fiscal year 2020. The estimated value of the contract is $26,182,005.69, with the previous contract awarded to Emergent LLC.
Due to a lack of small business manufacturers capable of supplying the required products, HUD conducted market research which revealed only limited socio-economic small businesses, indicating a low likelihood of fulfilling the requirement. Past procurement strategies were competitive through the NASA SEWP Government-wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC), and no significant issues were reported with previous performance. The request concludes that no reasonable expectation exists for small businesses to meet the solicitation's specifications. Therefore, an individual waiver from the FAR is justified, facilitating the necessary licensing and maintenance for HUD’s software infrastructure.
