Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is issuing a Pre-Solicitation announcement for the Basic Ordering Agreement Sustainment Track (BOAST) Program. This initiative aims to establish multiple Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) for the streamlined procurement of Class IX consumable parts essential for Army equipment readiness. The BOA solicitation is expected in late January/early February 2026, with responses due 30 days after release.
Program Overview
The BOAST program will establish BOAs for Class IX consumable parts, including repair components, kits, and assemblies. Becoming a BOA holder will allow contractors and vendors to compete for future BOAST requirements. The government intends to maximize competition among BOA holders, with the possibility of set-asides for small businesses at the order level.
