CHIPS Articles: Enterprise Software Agreements

The DoD Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI) is an official DoD initiative sponsored by the DoD Chief Information Officer (CIO) to lead in the establishment and management of enterprise COTS IT agreements, assets, and policies. DoD ESI lowers the total cost of ownership across the DoD, Coast Guard and Intelligence Communities for commercial software, IT hardware, and services.

DoD ESI was formed in 1998 by Chief Information Officers at the Department of Defense to save time and money on commercial software. A joint team of experts (Software Product Managers or SPMs) consolidates requirements and negotiates with commercial software publishers, hardware sellers and IT service providers resulting in a unified contracting and vendor management strategy across the entire department.

In its first ten years of operation, DoD ESI achieved a cost avoidance of over $3 billion off prices established on the GSA Federal Supply Schedule by negotiating discounts of as much as 86% off list prices for software, hardware and services. Smart purchasing practices yields better contracting terms and conditions for DoD programs.

For more information on the ESI or to obtain product information, visit the ESI website at www.esi.mil.

For assistance please contact a Software Product Manager at http://www.esi.mil/AskAnExpert.aspx.

Department of the Navy Agreements

Oracle Database Enterprise License for the Navy
On June 13, 2013 the Department of the Navy awarded a DON Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) for Oracle software. The five-year agreement supports DON information technology efficiency efforts by consolidating procurement of all Oracle software across the department. This ELA, awarded to Oracle reseller DLT Solutions, gives the DON unlimited use of the following core products: Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, five Database Options (Data Base Life Cycle Management, Advanced Security, Diagnostics Pack, Tuning Pack, and Partitioning), and WebLogic Suite. All DON organizations are required to use this agreement.

Effective Date: 06/06/2013
Expiration Date: 06/12/2018

For more information, visit the CAC-enabled Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) website established for the Oracle ELA at: https://navy.deps.mil/peoeis/sites/pmm110/oracle/default.aspx.

The agreement, valid through 2018, continues to consolidate previously purchased Microsoft licenses used across the enterprise; and, therefore, optimizes cost savings by leveraging the full purchasing capacity of the department. Acquired licenses and SA must be compatible and interoperable with existing DON hardware and technology equipment. The estimated value of the BPA, including the base period and two option periods, is 543.72 million.

Ordering guidance: All Navy and Marine Corps procurement actions for information technology software must go through their respective processes identified at the Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) PMM-110 portal page . Since this is a dynamic environment, other policies may be added with little notice. Information about ordering products via other DON ELAs can also be found at this site.

Use of DON ELAs, where available, is mandatory by all DON organizations and programs per the joint memo "Mandatory Use of DON Enterprise Licensing Agreements," which was signed Feb. 22, 2012, by the Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer, the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research Development and Acquisition, and the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Financial Management and Comptroller.
