Yes.

Some of the more well known names are:

Oracle - Rdb
Mimer - Mimer SQL
Synergex - DBL
Broadcom (CA) - management stuff
SoftwareAG (ConnX) - connectivity
GrayMatter - print
Process - networking

VSI has a list of partners:
   https://vmssoftware.com/about/partners/

I read your question as if you were interested in commercial
software.

On top of the commercial software there are a bunch of open
source available that either:
* is intended to run on VMS by original author
* run on VMS because someone has added the necessary
   VMS pieces
* accidentally run on VMS without anything VMS specific

The list is obvious much much shorter than the list from the
mid 80's. Probably like 1-2%.
