- Current acquisition strategy includes a 5-year IDIQ with split award and the possibility of multiple delivery orders per ordering period
- The government is open to performance-based progress payments and is researching the possibility of increasing lot sizes
- There are no "off-ramps" for the IDIQ contract once awarded, and no guarantee of a minimum annual order quantity
- The government will be responsible for qualifying an additional source if a government-directed supplier leaves the business
- Reimbursement for unexpected price increases is not possible due to the firm-fixed-price contract structure

Yes, current acquisition strategy includes the possibility of issuing multiple delivery orders during one ordering period.
- Are there consequences if an awardee chooses to not bid on a future delivery order requirement in the IDIQ o The ordering procedures would require that all awardees complete orders which are predecessors to production delivery orders. (MSE, FAT, etc.). The current acquisition strategy has not entertained consequences for an awardee not bidding on future production delivery order requirements at this time.
