fadelydr Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I am working on creating an Multiple Award IDIQ for A&AS services. I have funding for minimum buy Task Orders that is FY10. I must award the IDIQ contracts and issue the Task Orders this year to spend this funding. I planned on having a base of 2 months and then 5 options totaling 58 months. I was told that I could award the contract and issue the first Task Orders under a "phase in" period (2 months) and then have a 12 months base and 4 - 12 month options. I argued that once I issue Task Orders, I have started the performance period. Please give your opinions as to the use of a Phase In period for this type of contract.

napolik Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I read that already. I was looking answers to my scenario specifically. I assume your scenario or question is implict here: "I was told that I could award the contract and issue the first Task Orders under a "phase in" period (2 months) and then have a 12 months base and 4 - 12 month options. I argued that once I issue Task Orders, I have started the performance period." Your "scenario" assumes 62 months of performance. 60 months is the max period. If I have inferred erroneously, please restate your scenario or question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vern Edwards Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Please give your opinions as to the use of a Phase In period for this type of contract. Taking your question literally: Sometimes a phase-in period is helpful or even necessary. Sometimes it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
