The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is soliciting requests from qualified and responsible sources to establish Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) under the Basic Ordering Agreement Sustainment Track (BOAST) program.

This announcement is an "on-ramp" opportunity for interested contractors to compete future orders under the BOAST program. Please note: A Basic Ordering Agreement is not a contract. The award of a BOA does not obligate any Government funds and does not guarantee any future work. Instead, a BOA is a written instrument of understanding that contains pre-negotiated terms, conditions, and pricing methodologies designed to expedite the award of future orders (contracts).

1. Program Description:

The BOAST program is a strategic initiative designed to provide an efficient and flexible method for acquiring a wide range of Class IX supplies. These BOAs will cover a broad range of Class IX parts, as defined in DoD Joint Publication (JP) 4-09, Distribution Operations. These parts include repair parts and components including kits, assemblies and subassemblies, and reparable and consumable items required for maintenance support of all Army equipment, excluding medical-peculiar repair parts. To further delineate distribution requirements, Class IX is categorized into the following subclasses:

• A – Air
• B – Ground Support Materiel
• D – Administrative Vehicles
• G – Electronics
• K – Tactical Vehicles
• L – Missiles
• M – Weapons
• N – Special Weapons
• T – Industrial Materiel
• X – Aircraft Engines

Future orders placed against the established BOAs will be competed among agreement holders and may be awarded using the most appropriate acquisition strategy, including procedures for:

• FAR Part 12: Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services
• FAR Part 13: Simplified Procedures for Non-Commercial Acquisitions
• FAR Part 15: Contracting by Negotiation

The attached BOA (W912CH-26-R-0001) contains the terms and conditions that govern all future orders if and/or when invoked at the order level.

2. Instructions for Interested Parties:

All interested parties are directed to this System for Award Management (SAM.gov) announcement and the full BOA text for submission requirements.

All questions regarding this opportunity must be submitted in writing in accordance with the detailed in the official SAM.gov posting. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted. The closing date for proposal submission is specified in the SAM.gov announcement.
