Quick answer
IDIQ proposal and MATOC task order preparation from Bidmere covers the base multiple-award contract proposal and the task order responses that follow. Contractors get a base requirements matrix, a reusable task order template, an order tracker and a pricing consistency check. Base proposals are priced from $6,950 and are ready in 5 business days.
What does IDIQ proposal support include?
It covers two kinds of response: the base contract proposal and each task order proposal.
- Base proposal requirements matrix: each requirement mapped to a response section, owner and status
- Reusable task order template: sections and approved boilerplate arranged for reuse, with a list of what must change for each order
- Order tracker: request date, due date, bid or decline decision and status for every order
- Pricing consistency check: each order’s line items compared with the rates in the base contract
How do IDIQ and MATOC contracts work?
IDIQ means indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity. The contract states a minimum, a maximum, a performance period and ordering procedures. A vehicle awarded to several firms is commonly called a multiple award task order contract, or MATOC.
The government commits only to the stated minimum. Work arrives through task orders that set the schedule, place of performance, line items, quantities and pricing. With multiple awards, each awardee must get a fair opportunity to be considered for each order above the micro-purchase threshold, with stated exceptions. So each order is its own competition.
What makes a task order proposal win or lose?
Speed and consistency. Task order windows are often short, and pricing must stay in line with the base contract.
- Short response windows with no reusable material ready
- No decision rule for which orders to bid
- Order pricing that drifts from the base contract rates
- Staff named in the base proposal who are no longer available
- Reused text that does not answer the order’s own evaluation instructions
The template and tracker address each one. A simple bid or decline rule, such as order size, location and fit with your self-performed work, also saves time when windows are short. Your company still decides which orders to pursue.

Common questions about handing off the work
Will someone else be writing claims about my company?
Only from facts you supply and approve. Gaps go on a list for your decision. Nothing is invented to fill a page.
Who is responsible for the final submission?
Your company. We prepare and check. Your authorized signer approves, signs and submits.
Task order windows are short. Can you keep up?
Send each request as soon as it arrives. We confirm whether the window supports preparation and your review before you accept.
What if the quote is more than we expected?
You see the fixed price before any work starts and pay nothing unless you accept it. You can also narrow the scope to selected sections.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does an IDIQ proposal cost?
Base contract proposals are priced from $6,950 as a fixed price after we read the solicitation. Individual task order responses are usually smaller and are quoted per order. Each quote arrives within 2 business hours. Plan review is free, and you pay only after you accept the price and delivery date.
How fast can you turn it around?
We reply with a fixed quote or our questions within 2 business hours. Substantial base proposals are ready in 5 business days from your accepted quote and complete documents. Task orders are quoted to the response window. Tell us your due date and your internal review date. If the time left cannot support the work and your review, we say so before you accept.
What are IDIQ and MATOC contracts?
IDIQ means indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity. The contract states a minimum and a maximum, a performance period and ordering procedures. A vehicle awarded to several firms is commonly called a multiple award task order contract (MATOC). Work is issued through task orders.
Does winning the base contract mean steady work?
Not by itself. The government commits only to the stated minimum, and work arrives through task orders. With multiple awards, each awardee must get a fair opportunity to be considered for each order above the micro-purchase threshold, with exceptions, so each order is its own competition.
Can a base contract proposal be reused for a task order?
Not unchanged. Reuse approved company evidence where it is still relevant, then map the order’s own scope, evaluation instructions, staffing, schedule and pricing. The tracker shows which material can be reused and which needs a new decision. Your company decides whether to pursue each order.
Who prices each task order?
Your team does. We compare each order’s line items with the base contract rates and flag anything that drifts. If you need quantities and cost for an order’s scope, that is an estimating job quoted separately, priced at your rates and factors.
How do you handle confidential documents?
Start with a short, non-confidential description in the quote form. The form takes text only, with no uploads and no payment. If the job needs your plans, financials or pricing, we arrange a secure document exchange after scope review. Leave private rates and personal data out of the first message.
Do you sign or submit the bid for us?
No. Bidmere prepares the agreed documents for your review. Your team verifies the facts, approves prices and terms, obtains bonds and insurance, signs the forms and submits before the deadline. Preparation does not guarantee compliance, a shortlist or an award. The owner decides.
