Industry Insight:

DHS' EAGLE Builds Momentum  (Aug 2008)

This report examines the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS') 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.

Description

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' 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.

However, INPUT's 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 INPUT expects a spending spree through EAGLE.

The report includes:

• Comparison of adoption of EAGLE with other task order vehicles
• Quarterly analysis of the value and volume of task orders through EAGLE
• Agencies spending the most through EAGLE
• Analysis of dominant prime vendors on EAGLE and other vendors to watch
• Recommendations for your DHS account and EAGLE-specific strategies
