Joel, to clarify, I'm looking for guidance that allows the use of 5 year ordering periods for construction IDIQ contracts. Not the use of options. I realize what FAR/DFARS state about this situation, but that language is specific about it applying to supplies and services. I'm just wondering if there is guidance out there that specifically applies to construction contracts. If it doesn't, then I'm ok with that. Just was trying to use WIFCON as a source while researching this topic.

Hi folks, I'm just looking for some guidance/authority on 5 year ordering periods for construction IDIQ contracts. I've researched FAR/DFARS/AFARS and other acquisition websites looking for some guidance/authority that allows this. I understand DFARS 217.204 talks about this, but the section applies to supplies and services and not construction. In my opinion, because FAR/DFARS/AFARS doesn't specifically prohibit it, I can do it. Am I wrong? Is there no guidance/authority that specifically allows for this on construction contracts? Thanks for any information in advance! Appreciate your thoughts.
