Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. The entire decision has now been approved for public release. Matter of: Oracle America, Inc. File: B-416657; B-416657.2; B-416657.3; B-416657.4 Date: November 14, 2018 Craig A. Holman, Esq., Kara L. Daniels, Esq., Dana E. Koffman, Esq., Amanda J. Sherwood, Esq., and Nathaniel E. Castellano, Esq., Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, for the protester. Christina M. Austin, Esq., and Andrew Bramnick, Esq., Department of Defense, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency's determination to pursue a single-award approach to obtain cloud services under an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract is consistent with statute and regulation where agency reasonably determines that a single-award approach is in the government's best interests for various reasons, including national security concerns. 2. Agency has provided reasonable support for all of the solicitation provisions that protester asserts exceed the agency's needs. 3. Protester's allegations regarding conflicts of interest do not provide a basis for sustaining the protest. DECISION Oracle America, Inc., of Reston, Virginia, protests various aspects of request for proposals (RFP) No. HQ0034-18-R-0077, issued by the Department of Defense (DoD) to obtain comprehensive cloud services; the procurement is generally referred to as the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) Cloud procurement. Oracle protests that: the RFP provisions leading to a single-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract are contrary to statute and regulation; the terms of the solicitation exceed the agency's needs; and the agency failed to properly consider potential conflicts of interest. We deny the protest.
