What we check
Your bid requirements, organized.
We build a requirements matrix for the base solicitation, then a reusable task order template and an order tracker with due dates and status. An indefinite-quantity contract commits the government only to its stated minimum. Your company decides which orders to bid, then signs and submits each one. We confirm fit and a fixed quote after reviewing the solicitation.
- Base solicitation requirements by section and evaluation factor
- Minimum, maximum and performance period as the contract states them
- Ordering procedures and fair opportunity terms
- Task order requests by issue date, due date and status
- Line items, schedule and place of performance in each order
- Rates or price factors each order must stay consistent with

Questions
About IDIQ and MATOC proposals.
What are IDIQ and MATOC contracts?
IDIQ means indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity. An indefinite-quantity 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 that specify the schedule, place of performance, line items, quantities and pricing.
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 be given a fair opportunity to be considered for each order above the micro-purchase threshold, with exceptions, so each order is its own competition.
Who decides which task orders to bid?
Your company does. We keep the tracker and flag due dates, and we draft each response from your approved template once you decide to bid. Your team sets the price, signs and submits every proposal.
