Book excerpt: This study developed a generic IDIQ contractive framework upon which MnDOT can produce its IDIQ contracting procedures based on this agency's policies, preferences, and applicable regulations. This report covers several aspects of this alternative contracting method, including successful contracting techniques and procedures, terminology in use by public transportation agencies, contract advertising and award practices, pricing methods, risk management issues, and effective contract administration practices. Besides benchmarking the state-of-practice of IDIQ contracting in federal and state transportation agencies, the report addresses three key aspects identified by the authors: mobilization cost payment, escalation of construction pricing on multi-year IDIQ contracts, and impact of IDIQ contracting on surety bonds. The study found that IDIQ contracting creates a capacity to expedite project delivery through an on-call contractor that can be mobilized and working in a much shorter period than traditional project delivery methods. It also found a number of distinct advantages for repetitive construction and maintenance projects including the ability to obligate unused fiscal year funding, incentivizing construction quality and economy of scale reductions in unit pricing. It also finds that once the IDIQ contract is awarded, the agency is able to utilize the contractor to furnish a number of preconstruction services in much the same manner as Construction Manager/General Contractor projects, which results in better pricing due to more constructable designs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This short piece discusses recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) data chronicling an increase in the Defense Department's reliance on indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (or IDIQ) contracts. The data also indicates that, despite the clearly established preference for multiple awards, about three-quarters of the IDIQ awards made by DoD were to a single contractor, rather than multiple contractors. Based on GAO's data, the essay describes the dramatic difference between current IDIQ practice and the process described in the the regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the supplemental regulations promulgated by DoD (including the DFARS and the PGI). The essay concludes with two modest suggestions: first, that Congress, OFPP, the FAR Council, the 809 Panel, or all of the above, would be well served by putting some thought into reorganizing or redesigning the FAR to better reflect modern practice. Second, Congress or the FAR Council could raise the bar and mandate more meaningful impediments to single-award IDIQ's.

Download or read book The Project Managers Guide to IDIQ Task Order Service Contracts written by Mark E. Salesky and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-04 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year the US federal government will spend roughly 100 billion dollars through competitive IDIQ (Indefinite Duration Indefinite Quantity) contracts. When you add in contracts awarded by State governments and commercial organizations using very similar processes you’re looking at 700 billion dollars’ worth of business. Getting a slice of that pie depends on how well you manage the contracting project. This is because IDIQs are essentially empty contract structures which then require a second round of winning task orders. For contracts with the government, this two-step structure which is specified in law and regulation, has specific pitfalls and opportunities which are rarely the subject of contract and project management training. Salesky’s coaching style talks you through the specific challenges in the startup, management, and closing of the IDIQ. This book gives a pragmatic and best-practice description of the entire life cycle of this type of contract offering you the “inside advisor” you need to help you through the pragmatics issues of clients’, performers’, and bosses’ expectations.

This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything You Need to Know About Government Contract Types As the world's single largest buyer of goods and services, the federal government has many ways to structure its procurements. Different situations and conditions often determine the best vehicle for a particular purchase. Contracting officers must assess a wide range of factors to determine which contract type will provide the government the best value and the least risk. The Complete Guide to Government Contract Types provides a comprehensive overview of the key government contract vehicles and types: fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, incentive, and other (which includes letter, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, and time-and-material contracts). The author first explains the selection process for contract vehicles, which is the basis for selecting the appropriate contract type for the work in question. He then presents a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of each contract type, explaining how each works best to meet certain types of requirements and conditions. This is an essential resource for both contracting officers and contractors seeking to understand and work effectively within the nuances of contract selection and compliance.
