Description
Background
The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is seeking an exemption from competition for the procurement of Oracle Support, maintenance, periodic upgrades, and usage of their suite of software. This request is made under IDAPA 38.05.01.042.05.b, which allows for exemptions when competitive bidding is deemed impractical or disadvantageous. The original contracts for these services were awarded to Mythics, Inc. through competitive bidding processes in 2017 and 2018.
Work Details
The contract includes annual support, maintenance, periodic upgrades, and licensing for the Oracle environment, which encompasses Oracle Exadata hardware and database software. The services are critical for the operation of the Idaho Benefits and Eligibility System (IBES) and the Child Support Enforcement System.
These systems provide essential services such as SNAP benefits, TANF cash assistance, childcare assistance, and child support payment processing. Any disruption in these services due to outages in the Oracle database would severely impact service delivery to citizens.
Period of Performance
The desired term for this contract is 5 years with an anticipated total cost of $50,000. The renewal schedule for hardware licenses and database renewals is from March 27, 2025, to March 26, 2026.
Place of Performance
The services will be performed within the state of Idaho as part of the operations supporting state welfare applications.
Bidder Requirements
Mythics is a sole source provider necessary for continued support and maintenance of the Oracle environment due to its unique capabilities and established relationship with the Department.
