EAGLE task order opportunities
With the federal fourth quarter underway, vendors are wondering where end-of-year spending will happen; task order vehicles are an obvious place to look because task orders can be competed and awarded quickly; DHS’s EAGLE task order is one example
Interested in a piece of the EAGLE action? Dublin-based Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “DHS’ EAGLE Builds Momentum” report to their offerings. This report examines DHS’s use of the Enterprise Acquisition for Leading Edge (EAGLE) task order vehicle since its inception, including spending through the vehicle quarterly, trends about agency usage, and leading vendors. It also provides recommendations and strategies for vendors pursuing EAGLE.
With the federal fourth quarter underway, vendors are wondering where end-of-year spending will happen. Task order vehicles are an obvious place to look because task orders can be competed and awarded quickly. DHS’s EAGLE task order vehicle is relatively new and many vendors have already complained that they are not realizing a return on their investment to compete or partner on this vehicle, and are not realizing the same win-ratio as in the pre-EAGLE days. Competing was costly for most — too costly to expect to recoup that investment in just a few quarters.
This quarter-by-quarter analysis of spend through EAGLE since its inception shows that the use of the vehicle has ramped dramatically making EAGLE too important to ignore, especially in fourth quarter FY08 when it was expected that there would be a spending spree through EAGLE.
