Hello--
I am interested in hearing your thoughts on the pros and cons of using "option for increased quantity" instead of IDIQ:
1- clearly defined supply items, firm fixed price, non competitive award.
2-total requirement is 4 systems, over the course of three fiscal years, and subject to continued need and funding.
3-base award will procure and fully fund 2 of these.
Either scenario would work, I believe.
And, human nature tends to keep us (me) on the path with which I am most familiar.
What would you consider to be more advantageous to the Government: structure this as Base plus options, or as IDIQ with guarantee minimum being the first 2?
I will appreciate any and all feedback.
