Poor choice of words, I apologize. This is an existing single award contract exactly as you hypothesized...Task Order IDIQ contract with pre-priced labor categories. The IDIQ award has an NTE amount for the travel CLIN, but there is no year-by-year travel amount set.
I like your suggestion to discuss the topic in depth to reach a mutual understanding and agreement on method and pricing for travel. It's a no-brainer, I was just too focused on the insane request to think it through. Thanks for being a much more logical set of eyes on this, I appreciate it.
