Delivery Orders with Options [DOWOs]

If an Agency has a requirement to purchase a set of known in-scope products and services but is uncertain of the timing of those purchases, a Request for Quote (RFQ) can be submitted using Fair Opportunity guidelines to one or more SEWP Contract Groups

The Agency may award one or more Delivery Orders based on the quotes received. The initial base Delivery Order would establish the products/product solutions and pricing for those items. The maximum time for the existence of this order and any instructions for exercising options / placing option calls against the original quote and initial Delivery Order should be noted in the initial orderThe base and option years cannot exceed 5 years in duration

28

Delivery Orders with Options [cont.]

Agency officials may then follow the procedures as stated in the base Delivery Order to place orders against the initial quote. This is per the FAR Part 16 exception to Fair Opportunity for logical follow-ons to a Delivery Order, which was itself awarded based on Fair Opportunity

Any substantive change to the initial quote and subsequent base Delivery Order, such as increasing the scope of items quoted, would require a renewed Quoting and ordering cycle including issuing a new RFQ following Fair Opportunity procedures

The actual usage and set-up of the base Delivery Order is the Contracting Officer’s responsibility. Typically, the base order is set up with and initial Delivery Order listing the product/solutions and prices included in the awarded quote. Subsequent Delivery Orders are issued options either as modifications or calls against the base order
