EAGLE II BOA Synopsis
This announcement is the annual synopsis for requirements falling under the scope of the Enhanced Army Global Logistics Enterprise (EAGLE) program. This annual synopsis covers requirements related to Army Materiel Maintenance Services, Retail/Wholesale Supply Services, and/or Transportation Support Services that fall within the scope of, and are designated for performance under, the EAGLE program and which emerge within the year after this annual synopsis is published, including but not limited to, the requirements specifically identified herein. The Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) Request for Proposal (RFP) will be the only opportunity contractors will have to obtain an executed EAGLE BOA in order to propose against the subsequent Task Order (TO) RFPs.
The Army Contracting Command, Rock Island intends to issue a BOA RFP (Step 2 of the three-step procurement process) applicable for all EAGLE (TO) requirements tentatively 01 OCT 2021 – 31 JUL 2022. Any responsible offeror may submit a proposal in response to the BOA RFP. The BOA RFP will result in the execution of BOAs with offerors determined to be technically acceptable in accordance with the requirements of the solicitation. Separate TO RFPs (Step 3) will also be issued ; however, the BOA RFP will be the only opportunity contractors will have to obtain an executed EAGLE BOA in order to propose against the subsequent TO RFPs. BOA proposals will not be solicited nor accepted, and BOAs will not be executed, at any time other than during the annual BOA RFP, even for those emergent requirements not specifically identified herein; as such, if a contractor would like to have the opportunity to be able to participate in any future EAGLE TO that may arise within the next year, it is imperative that the contractor submit a proposal in response to the BOA RFP released subsequent to this synopsis.
The estimated release date of the BOA RFP W52P1J-21-R-0048 is 26 APR 2021; the closing date for the receipt of proposals will be identified in the RFP.
The BOA RFP will be issued electronically, as will any amendments thereto. Contractors are advised to periodically review SAM (http://beta.SAM.gov) in order to obtain any amendments which may be issued; failure to obtain any said amendments and to respond to them prior to the closing date and time of the BOA RFP may render the proposal nonresponsive and result in its rejection.

The scope of the requirements and estimated RFP release dates and award dates noted above are subject to change. Once an EAGLE requirement is identified, the anticipated dates for RFP issuance and Task Order award will be posted on the EAGLE website at http://acc.army.mil/contractingcenters/acc_ri/eagle/index.html and periodically updated as necessary. The Army will not issue a separate synopsis for each of the EAGLE requirements emerging within the year prior to issuing the applicable Task Order RFP. Task Order RFPs will be issued electronically at SAM http://beta.SAM.gov in accordance with FAR 4.5 and 5.201; hardcopies will not be provided, but contractors can download a copy of a Task Order solicitation from SAM http://beta.SAM.gov on or after the issuance date.
It is the Government’s intent that EAGLE Task Order RFPs valued at ≤$38.5M will be set-aside for competition amongst the small business EAGLE BOA holders; however, individual EAGLE Task Order RFPs will identify whether the Task Order is being set-aside for small business.
Some EAGLE Task Orders will require a SECRET Facility Clearance. For those such Task Orders, the offerors (and subcontractors performing applicable tasks) will be required to possess the SECRET Facility Clearance at the time of the RFP closing date, at the time of award, and throughout the life of the contract. The Offeror (i.e. the legal entity that is submitting the proposal and would be identified as the awardee of the contract) will be required to possess the SECRET Facility Clearance itself and will not be able to rely solely on the clearance of a subcontractor; for a proposal submitted by a Joint Venture, the SECRET Facility Clearance must be granted under the name and CAGE code of the Joint Venture itself for it to be eligible for award, regardless of whether the managing partner or all members of the Joint Venture have a SECRET Facility Clearance. Possession of an INTERIM SECRET Facility Clearance at the time of RFP closing date may be sufficient to meet the requirement for some Task Orders, provided that it can be validated by the Defense Security Service (DSS); however, if access to classified COMSEC information will be necessary for the performance of a Task Order, FINAL US Government Clearance at the appropriate level will be necessary to perform upon award. Possession of a BOA will not alleviate the need for the SECRET Facility Clearance, therefore, offerors who plan on competing for the task order solicitations that require a SECRET Facility Clearance will need to obtain the SECRET Facility Clearance via sponsorship from another contractor who already possesses a SECRET Facility Clearance. Eligibility information and requirements can be found at www.dss.mil. A Defense Security Service pamphlet is also provided on the EAGLE website for additional guidance on how to obtain a clearance.
To be eligible for award, offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management at: https://www.sam.gov/SAM/pages/public/index.jsf
