Talk:IDIQ

Suggested link with closely-related French page

Hello, I strongly suggest to link this page with the French page http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administration_des_services_g%C3%A9n%C3%A9raux which explains things like:

"L’administration des services généraux a souvent recours à des contrats à exécution indéterminée et à quantité indéterminée (de l’anglais, IDIQ contracts Indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts) lorsqu’elle ne peut pas déterminer, au-delà d’un minimum garanti, la quantité précise de biens ou de services dont les organismes fédéraux auront besoin au cours de la période contractuelle. Les organismes fédéraux peuvent alors faire appel à des entrepreneurs sous contrat pour un bien ou un service en particulier. Ils pourront négocier des commandes de livraison (en anglais, delivery orders) pour l’approvisionnement en produits ou des commandes de prestations (en anglais, task orders) pour les commandes de services. Lors de la passation des commandes, des promesses d’achats minimum et maximum sont fixés, en dollars pour les services et en unités pour les biens.".

Maybe the above part could get a subtitle, to which the present page could be linked.

Citation - for where the History section says "citation needed"

As of April 30, 2016, the last sentence in the "History" section says, "In 2006, a journalist estimated a total of $290 billion of then-current GWAC activity, including contracts still in use, procurements out to bid, and procurements being planned.[citation needed]". The source is cited under "External Links". The source is ... Gerin, Roseanne, "New dawn for GWACs”, Washington Technology, January 26, 2006 . http://www.washingtontechnology.com/print/21_02/27841-1.html . I might try to 'fix this,' but I am not certain how to turn this into a 'citation.' Thomasjbuckholtz (talk) 16:42, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Unsubstantiated Statement

Someone needs to add a reference with analysis to backup the statement "IDIQ contracts are more efficient than traditional procurement contracts". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.232.211.130 (talk) 15:04, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
