Oracle has won two US federal contracts.
The cloud computing provider has seen the US Army’s Enterprise Cloud Management Agency (ECMA) expand its use of OCI, and has been selected by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the STRATUS contract.
The task order from the US Army has been awarded by the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract, and will see Oracle providing cloud compute and storage services to the Army’s ECMA via Oracle US Defense Cloud.
The value of the task order, according to a notice published in March 2025 on Sam.gov, is $222.53 million and is described as a “firm fixed price task order.”
The contract builds on a previous task order awarded in 2024, and will see Oracle help the ECMA to deliver and manage a secure multicloud ecosystem for the Army Digital Transformation Strategy.
Oracle US Defense Cloud regions are secure and isolated, specifically designed for government and defense workloads. The services provided to the ECMA will cover Defense Information Systems Agency Impact Levels 2, 4, 5, and 6.
A document attached to the award notice notes: “ECMA established the Army’s cloud ecosystem, known as cARMY, to provide common cloud shared services, global connectivity, and required cybersecurity services for all Army applications, systems, and data hosted in the cloud.
“Oracle is already approved for use at IL 4 and 5, and the Government anticipates that Oracle will be one of the CSPs approved for use at IL 6 by the time of TO award. Therefore, Army MOs will be able to leverage the Oracle cloud native and proprietary technologies and services for application hosting and development.”
“ECMA is committed to delivering innovation at scale with a secure multicloud environment that empowers the Army to achieve its digital transformation goals,” said Gabe Chiulli, chief technology officer, ECMA.
“Federal agencies face increasing pressure to modernize their infrastructure while maintaining the highest security standards and controlling costs,” said Kim Lynch, executive vice president, Government, Defense and Intelligence, Oracle. “Our purpose-built cloud solutions will help ECMA to address these challenges head-on, delivering the performance, security, and efficiencies that Army customers need in order to achieve more with less.”
At the same time as announcing its contract with the US Army, Oracle revealed that it has been selected by USDA as part of the STRATUS program.
STRATUS helps federal agencies access cloud infrastructure services. Oracle Cloud, now part of STRATUS, will be accessible to federal agencies to procure services, including database, compute, storage, AI infrastructure and AI services, and application.
Both USDA and non-USDA agencies can now also use OCI services in Oracle US Government Cloud. The agencies aim to help reduce costs, with Oracle claiming that OCI costs 50 percent less for compute, 70 percent less for storage, and 80 percent less for networking than other cloud providers.
“USDA STRATUS will enable federal agencies to more quickly move toward multicloud solutions, creating greater agency efficiency,” said Kim Lynch, executive vice president, Government, Defense & Intelligence, Oracle. “With Oracle’s inclusion in the STRATUS program, civilian and defense agencies can now accelerate their cloud migration, leveraging Oracle’s applications and the superior AI capabilities, scalability, and performance of OCI.”
