What a contract vehicle is

A contract vehicle is a contract that the government awards first and buys through later. Agencies place task orders or delivery orders under the vehicle. Usually, only the companies that hold the vehicle can compete for those orders. These are the common types:

• Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC): a contract for information technology (IT) that any federal agency can use.
• Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract: usually one agency's contract for a defined scope of work.
• Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA): a simple ordering agreement for recurring needs.
• Multiple Award Schedule (MAS): the General Services Administration (GSA) schedule for commercial products and services. In the directory, its type is FSS / GSA Schedule (Federal Supply Schedule).

To learn more, read the contract vehicles guide on the CLEATUS blog.

The page has these tabs:

Charts show the task orders by NAICS code and by place of performance. The Award Hierarchy panel links the vehicle to its prime holders, task orders, and subcontracts.
• Task Orders: the delivery orders and task orders awarded under the vehicle.
• Awardees: the prime contractors that hold the vehicle, ranked by obligated dollars. Expand a company to see its task orders on this vehicle.
• Subcontracts: the companies that do subcontract work under the task orders of the vehicle. Expand a company to see each subaward.
