All Task Orders issued from resultant IDIQ contracts will be awarded using the procedures stated at FAR16.505 and are subject to the following terms and conditions. In the event of an inconsistency between provisions of the IDIQ and any Task Order issued pursuant to the IDIQ, the provisions of the IDIQ will take precedence.

The establishment of the IDIQ contract(s) creates no guarantee or obligation on the part of the Government to place any Task Orders beyond the minimum stated below. The Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases are actually ordered under the IDIQ.

Minimum guaranteed Task Order per IDIQ contract holder: $2,500 Maximum Task Order amount: $9,000,000

Estimated Value: The Government estimates, but does not guarantee, that total Task Orders may reach a sum maximum of $9,000,000. Issuance of an IDIQ contract(s) does not obligate any funds. Funds will be obligated upon award of individual Task Orders.
