Message ID: #27 lisahorst (User) Posts: 1 what other contract options are there? Posted: 8 Months ago   If the gov't has exercised all options on a contract..base and all option years, yet the procurement cycle indicates there is going to be a big gap between the last date of the last option period and the new contract start, what can the gov't do? Can't they do a bridge contract with the current contractor? What if there is another vehicle in place such as IDIQ..do they have to go to that..or can they do a bridge or something else? FYI, procurement is full and open, will be highly competitive, for CDC (going to IDIQ that's in place will minimize the full/open, of course..the incumbent would not be able to bid as a prime, for example)... please advise. very best, Lisa A.

My experience has been that it really depends on how critical the services being provided are. The procurement groups will put more effort into getting a bridge contract in place if the services to be provided are critical. If they are not, the program office that is responsible for the contract my be told "Too bad, you need to plan better next time." I'll let you know what I find out.   Report to moderator   Logged     | The administrator has disabled public write access.
