The OEA was DOI's first enterprise licensing agreement established in May 2001 for a 5-year term. The agreement consisted of a minimum seat enrollment of named-user (internal applications) and processor-type (web-enabled applications) license bundle configurations. In April 2005, GSA's SmartBUY Office established a government-wide OEA that provided added cost-savings to all Federal agencies, depending on the defined dollar volume threshold of each purchase order. SmartBUY also allowed all Federal agencies to establish a "special solution" OEA in instances where license requirements differed from those under SmartBUY. Following this guidance, on May 31, 2006, DOI awarded the new requirements portion of contract renewal to Mythics Inc. On August 11, 2006, DOI finalized the IDIQ portion of the award with Mythics Inc, thereby allowing DOI customers to acquire various Oracle products and services on an "as-needed" basis at reduced costs throughout the duration of the contract. Maintenance support portion of the renewal for existing Oracle licenses owned by DOI will continue to be handled through Oracle Direct.
