What is an IDIQ contract and how do SDVOSBs benefit?
An Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract establishes pre-negotiated terms and rates for an indefinite scope of work over a multi-year ordering period. IDIQs with SDVOSB set-aside pools allow qualified SDVOSBs to compete for task orders without a new full-and-open competition each time. Being on an IDIQ vehicle provides a steady pipeline of work opportunities and reduces proposal burden compared to standalone procurements.
