Yahoo2026.07.23
The Pentagon announced on Thursday a nearly $7 billion, up-to-10-year agreement with Oracle to consolidate the department's on-premises software licenses into a single contract, the latest move by the Pentagon's technology chief to cut costs by eliminating fragmented purchasing. The Enterprise Software Agreement, negotiated by the Department of the Navy, is between the Pentagon and Oracle for its on-premises compute usage. The agreement spans five years, with a further five-year option, and covers the entire Pentagon, along with the U.S. Coast Guard and the intelligence community.
