Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading-Edge Solutions II (EAGLE II)

The Department of Homeland Security Chief Procurement Officer established Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading-Edge Solutions II (EAGLE II), a master IDIQ with a $22 billion shared ceiling, on December 4, 2012, but ordering closed on September 28, 2020 — the vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders. The predecessor vehicle, Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading-Edge Solutions, was awarded in June 2006.

Ordering activity has declined sharply. The vehicle issued 92 task orders in 2017, 88 in 2018, 56 in 2019, 18 in 2020, and only 1 in 2021. A total of 676 task orders have been awarded across three functional categories (FC 1, FC 2, and FC 3). Combined task-order potential value stands at $7.18 billion, with $6.08 billion obligated—85% of the envelope.

IT services dominate the scope: help desk and technical support services, infrastructure operations and maintenance, biometric application development, cloud engineering support, Identity Credential Access Management (ICAM) program management, system security assessments, SharePoint and collaboration services, network engineering, and software licensing and integration work. Task orders span firm-fixed-price, labor-hour, time-and-materials, and cost-plus pricing models.

Competition is concentrated among larger integrators. General Dynamics Information Technology Inc., Knight Point Systems LLC, Accenture Federal Services LLC, Dev Technology Group Inc., and Sevatec LLC together hold 25% of combined potential value. Steampunk Inc., Dev Technology Group, The One 23 Group, Acuity Inc., and Knight Point Systems account for the top 14% of task order count. A long tail of 152 distinct primes shares the remainder, with small business firms holding roughly 17% of orders.

Customer concentration is high within DHS. The DHS Office of the Chief Information Officer (170 orders, $329 million), U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (80 orders, $2.12 billion), Transportation Security Administration (63 orders, $1.35 billion), Customs and Border Protection (53 orders, $1.28 billion), and U.S. Coast Guard (51 orders, $346.2 million) represent 62% of all awarded orders. The 31 distinct customer agencies include other DHS components and non-DHS entities such as the Treasury Department.

Set-aside use is minimal. Seventy-five percent of orders carry no set-aside designation. Small business holds 17% of orders, HUBZone 3%, competitive 8(a) 3%, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business 1%. Sole-source HUBZone awards represent a single order.

Task orders range widely in value. Representative recent orders span from $24,750 (security assessment) to $65.7 million (software operations and maintenance for CBP); the modal range is $1 million to $10 million. Notable mega-orders include OUTCOME-BASED DELIVERY AND DEVOPS SERVICES II at $71.4 million potential value and IV & V SERVICES at $43 million. Most orders carry durations of 12 months to 24 months, with options to extend.

The vehicle is effectively closed to new primes and represents a legacy procurement now in sustainment mode. Remaining pursuit value lies in task order recompetes and follow-ons for established contractors under the existing award population.

EAGLE II was designed as the preferred source of information technology (IT) services for the majority of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS's) enterprise infrastructure and initiatives.
