Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is soliciting requests for an "on-ramp" opportunity to establish Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) under the Basic Ordering Agreement Sustainment Track (BOAST) program. This initiative aims to provide an efficient and flexible method for acquiring a wide range of Class IX supplies for Army equipment maintenance. Requests are due by March 19, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
The BOAST program seeks to establish BOAs with qualified sources for Class IX supplies, which include repair parts, components, kits, assemblies, subassemblies, and reparable/consumable items for all Army equipment (excluding medical-peculiar parts). Class IX is categorized into subclasses such as Air, Ground Support Materiel, Tactical Vehicles, Missiles, Weapons, and Aircraft Engines. A BOA is a written instrument of understanding, not a contract, that contains pre-negotiated terms to expedite future orders.
Contract Details
- Type: Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) for future orders.
- Duration: BOAs will be valid for up to five (5) years from the effective date.
- Contract Type for Orders: Future orders placed against established BOAs may be Firm Fixed Price and will be competed among agreement holders.
- Acquisition Strategy for Orders: Orders may utilize FAR Part 12 (Commercial Products/Services), FAR Part 13 (Simplified Procedures), or FAR Part 15 (Contracting by Negotiation).
- Set-Aside: None specified.
Submission & Evaluation
- Submission: Interested contractors must submit a completed BOA electronically via email to BOAST@army.mil and cc NICHOLAS.A.LANG.CIV@ARMY.MIL. All questions must be submitted in writing.
- Evaluation for Orders: Future orders will be evaluated based on factors such as Price, Technical Capability, Past Performance, Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA), or best value tradeoff, as detailed in individual Request for Order Proposals (RFOPs).
- Eligibility: Requirements for BOA establishment include SAM.gov registration, acceptance of clauses, and not being debarred or suspended.

These amendments primarily involve the deletion and addition of various FAR clauses. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
