All I know, is that Orcl has a special relationship with the DoD from day one, because orcl (the company- the initial DB development) was funded by a DoD grant. That is just history. I think you might mean this, which is more of a purchasing agreement- The initial $9.8 million Oracle task order, announced May 27, includes an offering called "Special Solutions," which is intended to accommodate large enterprise agreements by providing larger discounts, according to a spokesman for the Army's Small Computer Program. The initial Oracle BPA is available to all DOD agencies, including the National Guard and Reserves, as well as the intelligence community, the spokesman said. I don't know if there is anything in terms of some kind of secret clearance or whatever that Oracle has with DoD. I'm afraid I'm kindof clueless when it comes to DoD procurement processes-I only know what I know from 60 minutes! :-) Related- U.S. Army Lt. Gen.
