Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)

A contract that provides for an indefinite quantity of services or supplies during a fixed time period.

In context

How Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity works in supplier diversity

IDIQ contracts establish maximum and minimum order quantities but don't guarantee specific volumes. Task orders or delivery orders are issued against the IDIQ as needs arise. Winning an IDIQ contract means you've been approved as a vendor but must compete for specific work through task orders.
