kubikmaltbie, I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you looking to find out how to bid on IDIQ (Indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity) contracts? AriM

An indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract is a procurement vehicle which is used when agencies cant predetermine, above a specified minimum, the precise quantities of supplies or services that the Government will require during the contract period. At the state level, this is sometimes called a pre-qualified bidders list. In effect, under an IDIQ you have to submit a technical proposal which demonstrates your ability to meet the needs of the agency with respect to a specific requirement. Once you are approved, you go into a hold pattern until the agency activates the underlying contract by issuing task orders. You can be qualified under an IDIQ and not get a task order until months or even a year later. Usually, you are guaranteed a minimum amount of contract money. Going after an IDIQ is excellent because, much like the GSA schedule, you are deemed qualified to contract and all you have to do is wait for the task order. Jos A. Rivera, J.D.
