determines the type of contract that is flexible and affordable.


SAVINGS INITIATIVES Two examples of successful efforts by the SSWGs and commodity teams are the Computer Hardware, Enterprise Software and Solutions (CHESS) and Enhanced Army Global Logistics Enter- prise (EAGLE) programs, both active Army initiatives.


Since April 2010, CHESS has been the mandatory first source for commercial information technology under the Pro- gram Executive Officer for Enterprise Information Systems. As of Oct. 15, 2014, the CHESS program office reported spending over $1.9 billion and saving

over $297 million. “Our long-term part- nerships with the Army CIO [chief information officer]/G-6 and Army Con- tracting Command have provided the foundation to identify opportunities to improve the procurement of commercial information technology hardware, soft- ware and services. We are continuing to collaborate with industry to ensure that the Army is able to access the right solu- tions at market-based prices,” said Tom Neff, CHESS project director.


Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Lead- ing Edge Solutions (EAGLE), an Army preferred source since February 2012, is an Army contract vehicle executed by U.S. Army Contracting Command – Rock Island, IL, that provides global logistics


support


to meet the evolving needs of


the Army, other DOD services and fed- eral agencies. EAGLE task orders focus primarily on materiel maintenance, retail and wholesale supply, and transportation support services at the installation level.


EAGLE is reducing the number of maintenance, supply and transportation contracts at 35 of the U.S. Army Sustain- ment Command’s U.S.-based Logistics Readiness Centers (LRCs) by nearly 60 percent. Te LRCs manage installation supply, maintenance and transportation, including food service, ammunition sup- ply, clothing, hazardous material, bulk fuel, personal property and household goods,


passenger travel, nontactical vehicles, and rail and garrison equipment.
