What is an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract?
An Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a type of contract that provides for an indefinite quantity of supplies or services during a fixed period of time. The Government places delivery orders (for supplies) or task orders (for services) against a basic contract for individual requirements. Minimum and maximum quantity limits are specified in the basic contract as either number of units (for supplies) or as dollar values (for services). The Government uses an IDIQ contract when it cannot predetermine, above a specified minimum, the precise quantities of supplies or services that the Government will require during the contract period.
