Overview
Oracle is a United States–based enterprise software and cloud computing company. Public procurement documentation and reporting describe Oracle products and services being used by U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) components, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including ICE software license/support renewals and procurement activity connected to ICE cloud infrastructure efforts.[1][2]
Boycott
Oracle is listed for boycott due to documented ties to ICE and DHS through software licensing and support renewals described as necessary for continued operation and security updates for ICE applications, and through procurement activity connected to ICE cloud infrastructure contracting.[1][3] Reporting has also described Oracle and a reseller protesting aspects of an ICE cloud services solicitation, and later reporting described ICE awarding large cloud hosting contracts after amending the solicitation in response to protests that included Oracle and Mythics.[2][4]
Advocacy reporting has additionally identified Oracle among major technology vendors described as receiving DHS cloud-related awards connected to immigration enforcement data systems.[5]
Background
ICE and other DHS components rely on contractors and commercial vendors for databases, software licensing, cloud infrastructure, and technical support that can enable operational systems used across enforcement and investigative functions. ICE List documents and, where applicable, boycotts companies whose work materially supports immigration enforcement operations.
