Owner's Guide to Project Delivery Methods - CMAA

single contract vehicle is used for all projects.The various types of multiple project (task) awards include:• Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)• Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC)• Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC)• Job Order Contracts (JOC)The IDIQ award is commonly used with professional services. With an IDIQ, an owner will selectone or more firms and award an IDIQ contract to these firms. Billing rates are generally preestablishedin the IDIQ contract, and as subsequent projects or tasks are identified, the IDIQ firm(s)will submit a proposal to the owner based on the requirements and prices set forth in the masterIDIQ agreement. When multiple firms hold the same IDIQ contract, they will generally becompeting for subsequent projects and tasks. IDIQ contracts are typically awarded for a 3-5 yearperiod of time, often with renewal options.A MATOC is very similar to the IDIQ contract and actually is a form of IDIQ contract. It will alwaysinvolve multiple firms and typically be used for design-build or construction related work. TheMATOC contract is very common in government contracting. Similar to a MATOC, the SATOCoperates in the same manner but will only be awarded to a single firm.Job Order Contracting (JOC) is another form of an IDIQ contract and is typically used to completelarge numbers of smaller projects or tasks. A single JOC contractor is selected and a contract isexecuted based on a pricing guide (e.g. RS Means) which is used as the basis for payment. As tasksare assigned to the contractor, pricing proposals are generated based on the rates in the pricingguide multiplied by a fixed pricing factor, which is established with the contractor in the contract.CMAA Owner’s Guide to Project Delivery Methods - August 201211
