CHIPS, Fall, 2004

The Oracle Navy Shore Based Enterprise License will provide all U.S. Navy shore-based employees (including all full-time or part-time active duty, reserve or civilian U.S. Navy shore-based employees, not assigned to a ship) and U.S. Navy shore-based contractors (on-site contractors or off-site contractors accessing U.S. Navy owned or leased hardware for the purposes of supporting U.S. Navy shore-based operations) the ability to use Oracle Database Licenses without the requirement of individual programs or offices having to count users. The number of licenses required by the U.S. Navy will be managed at the DON CIO level. In accordance with the DFAR Supplement Subpart 208.74, if an inventory exists, new requirements must be purchased through the DoD Enterprise Software Initiative following the related procurement process.

We are currently in the consolidation phase of this enterprise license agreement scheduled to be effective Oct. 1, 2004. Until that date, organizations should continue to operate in accordance with their current Oracle license agreement. If an organization's scheduled renewal is prior to Sept. 30, 2004, they will receive a prorated quote for maintenance support for the remainder of FY 2004. The intent of this prorating is to have all Navy shore-based Oracle maintenance contracts begin concurrently Oct. 1, 2004. Excess funds which result from this prorating should be reserved pending further guidance.
