Adds detail about Oracle in paragraphs 3-4

WASHINGTON, June 10 (Reuters) - The Trump administration awarded Oracle a contract to provide a 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 agencies' individual systems, said Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor 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 selection is the latest development in U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to overhaul the U.S. government and cut costs. Trump at the beginning of his administration 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 Trump's agenda for the federal workforce, is preparing to revamp the software agencies use to manage their employees.

Oracle's executive chairman is Larry Ellison, a longtime supporter of President Trump. Ellison serves on the president's science and technology council.

OPM and Oracle did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters.
