Can a task order contract be performance-based?
A26 Yes. The ID-IQ contract would need to include language that says some/all task orders issued against this contract may be performance-based. Even though the overall work statement at the contract level may be broad and imprecise, individual task orders can be written with precise, definitive performance work statements or statements of objectives, including performance standards and incentives. The indefinite quantity/indefinite delivery basic contract promises a minimum dollar amount, not a minimum quantity of hours. Each individual task order would then be written with its own incentive structure and/or pricing arrangement, including contract type, matched to its requirements. Furthermore, multiple contract awards would require submission of competitive proposals.
