What is the requirement for obligating funds when awarding indefinite-quantity contracts? -
CORRECT ANSWER-For ID/IQ contracts all supplies and services to be furnished shall be
obtained via delivery order(s) or task order(s) issued by individuals designated in the contract.
Upon execution of the contract, an obligation shall be recorded based upon the issuance of a
delivery or task order for the cost/price of the minimum quantity specified. Obtaining a
, certification of availability of funding from the finance office does not satisfy the requirement to
record an obligation in the official accounting records of the Government for the minimum
order amount established by the award of an IDIQ contract. The Government's actual obligation
must be recorded at the time of contract award. Recording and subsequently reporting the
required obligation using anything other than a delivery or task order will result in the action
not being reported in FPDS-NG. The Recording of Obligations Act is implemented in the DoD
Financial Management Regulation (FMR) (DoD 7000.14-R) (See paragraph 080504 of the FMR).
The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) is responsible for recording contractual
obligations in the Air Force accounting records. Where the quantity required under a contract is
indefinite, the ultimate amount of obligation is determined by subsequent orders; the amount
of any required minimum order specified in the contract, however, shall be recorded as an
obligation upon execution of the contract. For contracts that require the contractor to perform
unilaterally placed orders above the required minimum, record an obligation in the amount of
the order price or ceiling at the time the order is placed. An order in excess of the required
minimum that has to be negotiated or accepted by the contractor under terms of the contract
shall be recorded as an obligation upon contractor's acceptance of the order in the amount of
the agre
When may a T&M contract be used? What must the D&F contain? Who would approve the
following D&Fs: A T&M contract for $650K; A T&M contract for $500K in which the base period
plus option periods will be a total of 4 years; A T&M contract for $1.5M of services (base plus
options will be 5 years.)? - CORRECT ANSWER-T&M contract may be used only when it's not
possible at the time of placing the contract to estimate accurately the extent or duration of the
work or to anticipate costs with any reasonable degree of confidence, and ONLY if the PCO
prepares a D&F that "no other contract type is suitable," and the contract includes a ceiling
price that the contractor exceeds at their own risk. The D&F must contain sufficient facts and
rationale to justify that no other contract type is suitable (should go through all the contract
types). At a minimum the D&F shall include a description of the market research conducted and
establish that it is not possible at the time of placing the contract or order to accurately
estimate the extent or duration of the work or to anticipate costs with any reasonable degree of
certainty. A T&M contract for less than $1 million would have the PCO as the approval for the
D&F. A T&M contract for $500K in which the base plus options is 4 years would be approved by
the HCA. A T&M contract for $1.5 of services, where the base plus options will be 5 years,
would be approved by the COCO and then the HCA.
