Term
Task order
One concrete job, ordered and usually competed under an existing vehicle such as an IDIQ.
The working unit of an IDIQ or similar vehicle. The base contract sets the rules; each task order is an actual piece of work with its own scope, price, and deadline, typically competed only among the businesses already holding a seat.
In a sentence
"Task orders will be competed among all awardees under fair opportunity procedures." Every holder gets a shot at each order, and answering them quickly is where vehicle winners are made.
