Special Note to Navy Users: On Oct. 1, 2004, and May 6, 2005, the Navy established the Oracle Database Enterprise License, effective through Sept. 30, 2013. The enterprise license provides Navy shore-based and afloat users to include active duty, Reserve and civilian billets, as well as contractors who access Navy systems, the right to use Oracle databases for the purpose of supporting Navy internal operations. Navy users in joint commands or supporting joint functions should contact Bill Huber, NAVICP Mechanicsburg contracting officer at (717) 605-3210 or e-mail William.Huber@navy.mil, for further review of the requirements and coverage.

This license is managed by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR-SYSCEN) San Diego DON Information Technology (IT) Umbrella Program Office.

The Navy Oracle Database Enterprise License provides significant benefits including substantial cost avoidance for the Department. It facilitates the goal of net-centric operations by allowing authorized users to access Oracle databases for Navy internal operations and permits sharing of authoritative data across the Navy enterprise.

Programs and activities covered by this license agreement shall not enter into separate Oracle database licenses outside this central agreement whenever Oracle is selected as the database. This prohibition includes software and software maintenance that is acquired:

a. as part of a system or system upgrade, including Application Specific Full Use (ASFU) licenses;

b. under a service contract;

c. under a contract or agreement administered by another agency, such as an interagency agreement;

d. under a Federal Supply Service (FSS) Schedule contract or blanket purchase agreement established in accordance with FAR 8.404(b)(4); or

e. by a contractor that is authorized to order from a Government supply source pursuant to FAR 51.101.

This policy has been coordinated with the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Financial Management and Comptroller), Office of Budget.
