IDIQ

Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity

An umbrella contract; the actual work arrives later as task orders.

What it means

An IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity) contract is an umbrella award. Winning it does not guarantee work — it makes you eligible to receive task orders issued under it over time.

Think of an IDIQ as a hunting license: you are now allowed to compete for (or be directly issued) the specific jobs that flow through it.
