Common use of Distinction of a Requirements Clause in Contracts

Distinction of a Requirements. Contract to Other Contract Types and Agreements a) IDIQ Contracts - A Requirements contract type Task Order issued under this Master Contract is not an IDIQ contract. There are distinct structural differences between a Requirements contract and an IDIQ and distinct differences in the nature and legal effect of the different types of orders that are placed against these different contract vehicles. A Requirements contract type in this Master Contract is one in which the Government (buyer) agrees to purchase all of its needs for a particular item or service during the Task Order period from the Contractor (seller), and the seller agrees to fill all of the buyer’s needs for the goods or services described in the Task Order. Thus, unlike an IDIQ, an essential element of a Requirements contract type is the promise by the buyer to purchase all the subject matter within this contract type of Task Order exclusively from one seller, Whereas with an IDIQ, once the minimum is met, the buyer is not obligated to place any additional orders. Additionally, the multiple award preference requirement does not apply as it does with an IDIQ, under FAR 16.504(c)(1). An IDIQ is also different from a Requirements contract type in the following: (1) A Requirements contract’s guaranteed minimums are not required; (2) The Task Order solicitation of a Requirements contract must state realistic estimated quantities, and (3) The buyer and seller are obligated to buy and sell on a Requirements at the prices negotiated at time of award.
