DHS EAGLE Next Gen
EAGLE Next Gen is DHS's enterprise-wide IT services IDIQ, built to standardize how the department's many components acquire systems engineering, cybersecurity, and IT operations support.
- Managed by
- Department of Homeland Security
- Ceiling
- Multi-billion ceiling
- Scope
- IT services supporting DHS component agencies including CBP, ICE, TSA, and USCIS
- Period of performance
- 5-year base with option periods
Key takeaways
- Vehicle access is a market position, not a contract — task orders are where revenue happens.
- Read the ordering guide before bidding a task order; format and evaluation rules differ from open-market RFPs.
- Fair-opportunity task orders move fast, often with 10 to 15 day response windows.
- Track on-ramp windows well in advance; they open rarely and close quickly.
How work is ordered
Task orders are issued by individual DHS components to holders in the relevant functional category, with fair opportunity competition and component-specific security clearance requirements common given DHS's law enforcement and border security missions.
Getting on the vehicle
The holder pool was established through the initial multi-category competition; new entry depends on DHS running a future on-ramp or recompete, which DHS has done periodically as mission needs evolve.
Winning task orders
Build relationships separately with each DHS component you target — CBP, ICE, and TSA run distinct sourcing organizations with different priorities even though they buy off the same parent vehicle.
