Oracle Government Cloud

  • Oracle publishes a separate US Public Sector part number detail list and a Managed Services for US/DoD Government list, so commercial price lists do not apply to government buyers
  • Prices are distributed as downloadable PDF price lists rather than an interactive pricing page
  • Oracle states plainly that its commercial price lists are only for non-government agencies
