It's clear. And the only reason I would want the current firm do the new work would be for design continuity. These are park exhibits and a lot of research has gone in to the design already. To add a room or exhibit to the existing design would be a major duplication of effort on everybody's part. Not just the new firm, but the team of reviewers as well.

Seems I'm only half right. I can do a mod, if warranted, but new work is out of the question. Thanks to everyone for the assist.

What I am hoping is someone can specifically tell me if I can use this FAR Subpart for new work under an active Task Order even though the Indefinite-Delivery-Indefinite-Quantity contract is expired. That is provided I can justify and get approval for the work. My Contracting Officer says no, I disagree. 16.505 Ordering.(2) Exceptions to the fair opportunity process. (iii) The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order.

Logical Follow On

ji20874, what could make it clearer?

One thing. If I read the last paragraph correctly, I can award new work on this TO, with the expired IDIQ, as an LFO according to the requirements for Indefinite Delivery contracts as long as it is justified and approved. Right?

Thanks Vern, that was very helpful.

I have a task order that was awarded off an IDIQ contract. The IDIQ has since expired and my CO insists no changes, modifications, or follow-ons can be written against the TO because the IDIQ is expired. Is that true?
