Indefinite Delivery/ Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Jorge A. Rueda
Single Work Order IDIQ Single contract awarded to single contractor. Once the need to issue the work arises, the contractor then performs the desired services or furnishes the requisite supplies.
Single Award IDIQ Single contract awarded to single contractor who then is awarded work orders based on the pricing furnished in the initial bid package.
Multiple Award IDIQ Single contract awarded to multiple contractors. Only those selected are subsequently allowed to bid on work orders.
Disadvantages • Lack of knowledge and experience • Lower control over contract budget • High sensitivity to claims regarding inappropriate use of federal and/or state funds
Conclusion • To select an IDIQ model MnDOT must consider the scope of the contract, the estimated amount of work to be ordered, and the capabilities of potential bidders. • MnDOT would find more benefits as they move from Single Work Order to Multiple Award Contracts, but it requires higher coordination and greater use of in-house resources. • MnDOT must design training programs to instruct contractors, consultants, and MnDOT staff about IDIQ contracting. • There must be a balance between the expected number of task orders to be issued and the number of awardees.
