Federal IT & Cybersecurity Contracts — August 14, 2026

Oracle received a $114.35 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from the Department of Veterans Affairs for EHRM Forward Deployed Solution Set, with a total potential value of $128.58 million including options, providing stable multi-year revenue through 2027.

The contract was awarded non-competitively, which may attract protests from competitors, potentially delaying execution or increasing costs for Oracle Health Government Services.

As a firm-fixed-price contract, Oracle bears cost overrun risk if implementation of the EHRM solution proves more complex than anticipated, especially given the VA's history of IT modernization challenges.

The contract's options, if exercised, could increase total value to $128.58 million, representing a 12.4% upside from the initial obligation, signaling potential for expanded scope.

The non-competitive award suggests Oracle has a strong incumbent position or unique capability in VA EHRM, which could lead to follow-on contracts or expansions in other civilian health IT programs.

The VA's $114.35M award to Oracle for EHRM solutions highlights continued federal investment in upgrading healthcare IT systems, a priority across civilian agencies.
