Hello all, 

Our company currently has an IDIQ that expires this summer. We maintain an FCL through the IDIQ and have various Task Orders with differing levels of classification. Some of the classified TOs have PoPs that run longer than the IDIQ. 

My questions are,

1. Does the expiration of our IDIQ remove our ability to perform our awarded work?
2. Is the agency we are performing the work for able to bridge/extend the FCL? 
3. Would we be able to flowdown a DD254 to a sub before the expiration/how would it affect them and/or their ability to perform the work?

Any and all help greatly appreciated.

My view is that all 3 of your questions are hinged to FAR Clause 52.216-22 if, and hopefully, the clause is in your contract. See paragraph (d) of the clause.

@overmyhead Please do not use abbreviations like FCL. We presume FCL means facility clearance. If that is not the case, please tell us what it means.

The answers to your questions are:

1. No. Read your contract. It should include the clause at FAR 52.216-22, Indefinite Quantity (OCT 1995). Read paragraph (d).

2. Ask your customer if they can and will.

3. Ask your customer.

From my chair the "No" seems too explicit of a answer with regard to 52.216-22.

If FAR clause 52.216-22 provides a date in (d) that is commensurate with the end of the effective period stated in the IDIQ the order would need to be completed by effective date of the IDIQ should it not?

As an alternative if the paragraph (d) provides a date or period of say 1 year after the end end of the effective date of the IDIQ then work could continue on an order from end of effective period plus one year could it not?.
