The Federal Government competes and awards an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to support requirements where the quantity and time of delivery are unknown. Typically referred to as Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, the Government has the option of awarding a single or multiple award IDIQ. Once awarded, an IDIQ acts as a master agreement between the Federal Government and one or more contractors. On an as-needed basis, Federal buying organizations place orders, commonly referred to as Task Orders against an IDIQ, to purchase goods or services available through the IDIQ.
