XML Version

Derivation

Definition

A multi-year contract means a contract for the purchase of supplies or services for more than 1, but not more than 5, program years. Such contracts are issued under specific congressional authority for specific programs. A multi-year contract may provide that performance under the contract during the second and subsequent years of the contract is contingent upon the appropriation of funds, and (if it does so provide) may provide for a cancellation payment to be made to the contractor if appropriations are not made. The key distinguishing difference between multi-year contracts and multiple year contracts is that multi-year contracts buy more than 1 year of requirement (of a product or service) without establishing and having to exercise an option for each program year after the first.

Instruction

If the contract is a FAR 17.1 Multiyear Contract, then select FAR 17.1 Multiyear Contract. Otherwise, select Not a FAR 17.1 Multiyear Contract.

Definition

Identifies whether the IDC or Multi-Agency Contract is Indefinite Delivery/Requirements, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity, or Indefinite Delivery/Definite Quantity.

A requirements contract provides for filling all actual purchase requirements of designated Government activities for supplies or services during a specified contract period, with deliveries or performance to be scheduled by placing orders with the contractor. A Requirements IDC or Multi-Agency Contract is a contract for all of the agency's requirement for the supplies or services specified, and effective for the period stated, in the IDC or Multi-Agency Contract. After award, the contract is a mandatory source for the agency for the supplies or services specified. The quantities of supplies or services specified in the IDC or Multi-Agency Contract are estimates only and are not purchased by this contract. Except as this contract may otherwise provide, if the Government's requirements do not result in orders in the quantities described as "estimated" or "maximum" in the Schedule, that fact shall not constitute the basis for an equitable price adjustment.

An indefinite-quantity contract provides for an indefinite quantity, within stated limits, of supplies or services during a fixed period. The Government places orders for individual requirements. Quantity limits may be stated as number of units or as dollar values. An Indefinite-Quantity is a contract for the supplies or services specified, and effective for the period stated, in the IDC or Multi-Agency Contract. The quantities of supplies and services specified in the IDC or Multi-Agency Contract are estimates only and are not purchased by this contract.

A definite-quantity contract provides for delivery of a definite quantity of specific supplies or services for a fixed period, with deliveries or performance to be scheduled at designated locations upon order. A Definite Quantity IDC or Multi-Agency Contract is a definite-quantity, indefinite-delivery contract for the supplies or services specified, and effective for the period stated, in the IDC or Multi-Agency Contract.
