How do I provide the award notice concerning a delivery order or task order against an existing indefinite delivery contract (IDC)?
In order to provide the historic levels of transparency required by the Recovery Act, the government is posting all Recovery Act funded order notices on FedBizOpps. This includes award notices for task orders / delivery orders issued, which were previously unavailable. See FAR 5.704(a)(2) for additional information. When building the notice, first select an Award Notice. Next, include the following statement in the Description field preceding the actual notice description: “THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. THIS OPPORTUNITY IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO CONTRACTORS UNDER [Contracting officer insert program name. For example: GSA Schedule 03FAC, COMMITS, Navy’s SeaPort-e].” Because these notices are “for information purposes only,” FAR 5.203 does not apply and contracting officers should concurrently use their usual solicitation practice (e.g., e-Buy).
