A recently released RFQ calls for "call orders." I can see nothing in the RFQ that would distinguish a call order from a delivery order.
Still, I am familiar with calls as sold in the securities markets, and am wondering if in the eye of the government writer call order has a special meaning somehow derived from that market.
Has anybody seen the term call order used before, or suspect why the writer chose that term?
From FAR part 2,
“Delivery order” means an order for supplies placed
against an established contract or with Government sources.
“Task order” means an order for services placed against an
established contract or with Government sources.
