WASHINGTON, June 10 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's

administration has awarded Oracle a contract to provide

a U.S. government-wide HR platform, according to a statement,

making the company a partner in its effort to overhaul federal

technology systems.

Oracle will provide a cloud-based HR platform to replace the

individual systems of agencies, Office of Personnel Management

Director Scott Kupor said in a statement on Wednesday. OPM is

the federal government's HR office. OPM did not provide the

total value of the contract.

Oracle's executive chairman is Larry Ellison, a longtime

supporter of Trump. Ellison serves on the president's science

and technology council. Oracle's selection is the latest

development in Trump's plans to overhaul the U.S. government and

cut costs.

Trump at the beginning of his second term in office last

year appointed billionaire adviser Elon Musk and his Department

of Government Efficiency to oversee that effort. Musk largely

focused on shrinking the government workforce and left the

administration in mid-2025.

OPM, the government office carrying out the Republican

president's agenda for the federal workforce, is preparing to

revamp the software agencies use to manage their employees.

Oracle did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

OPM said in a statement that the agency completed hands-on

testing, market research and live demonstrations before

selecting Oracle for the contract. The final cost for the

agreement will depend on the complexity of migrating employee

data and security needs, among other factors, the agency said.
