🗨️ How do I use DLG's MCDA IDIQ?

  1. DLG and the potential customer work together to fill out a Task Order Requirement (TOR) worksheet. This worksheet is the first step in the process and kicks off the government-to-government discussions and helps all parties clearly communicate and define the need and how that need fits in the scope of work, deliverables, security needs, etc. 

  2. Government to Government discussions take place. The MCDA TOR worksheet streamlines gov-to-gov discussions, so the customer understands what GSA FEDSIM needs, if it’s not clear from the TOR, and provides MIPR funding instructions for the contract vehicle. 

  3. GSA FEDSIM issues DLG a Request for Proposal (RFP). Typically, there is a 7-14 day proposal development window for DLG. GSA FEDSIM can make final awards within two weeks from proposal submission with the support of the end government customer to evaluate the proposal.

  4. Task Order is awarded.

✔️What are the benefits of using this contract?

  • It is a sole source and if the customer is leveraging DLG technologies and enhancing or customizing them for their mission use - they qualify to use the contract without competing the work and typically takes 2 months to award from submission of the TOR worksheet.
  • FEDSIM approved task order requirement (TOR) template documents provide a streamline acquisition process facilitated by an accountable IDIQ POC.
  • TO contracts are easy to evaluate
  • The scope of this IDIQ covers a broad range of artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning (ML) development, operations enablement, and professional services scope 
  • It is flexible—TOs may vary significantly in length and size—there is no dollar cap per order
