To ask a follow-up question regarding contract maximums on multiple award contracts: Suppose our office followed Vern's advice and awarded a multiple award ID/IQ to two vendors with separate maximums for each contract, but all the maximums are the same. It's year 2 of the contract and Vendor A has been awarded enough task orders that their contract maximum has been met. Vendor B is still well below their contract maximum. Both vendors were given fair opportunity on all orders placed. Can we continue to use Vendor B's contract and basically treat it as a single award ID/IQ? Since none of the exceptions to fair opportunity in FAR 16.505(b)(2) apply, what documentation should be written to justify the continued use of Vendor B's contract?
