How do SDVOSB task orders work under IDIQ contracts?
Under IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity) contracts with SDVOSB set-aside pools, the contracting officer issues task orders to pre-qualified SDVOSB holders. Each task order may require a separate mini-competition among SDVOSB IDIQ holders. The SDVOSB must recertify its status at certain intervals (e.g., when the IDIQ is modified to extend the ordering period). Losing SDVOSB status can affect future task order eligibility.
