IQCs and IDIQs

Indefinite Quantity Contracts (IQCs) and Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts (IDIQs) are quick and efficient contracting mechanisms for federal agencies to procure specific services from pre-qualified firms or consortia of firms. ECODIT LLC can offer technical assistance services to USAID bureaus, offices, and overseas missions under the following IQCs (as of July 2010):

ECODIT AS PRIME CONTRACTOR (SMALL BUSINESS SET ASIDE)

Prosperity, Livelihoods and Conserving Ecosystems (PLACE) IQC (2006-2011)
Prime Contract No: EPP-I-00-06-00010-00

ECODIT is the only small-business holder of the PLACE IQC, which may be used by USAID Bureaus and Missions to provide technical assistance on a wide range of natural resource management activities. The overarching goals of the PLACE IQC are to promote transformational development, integrated landscape management, and scaling-up and sustaining impacts within five key Natural Resource Management Categories: Biodiversity Conservation (terrestrial, freshwater and marine), Sustainable Forestry, Sustainable Tourism, Ecologically Sustainable Agriculture, and Provision of Ecosystem Services.

USAID has a small business utilization goal of 40 percent under the PLACE IQC. USAID Bureaus and Missions may make a small business set-aside task order award directly to the ECODIT led consortium on a sole-source basis. All other task orders would need to be competed among the five PLACE IQC holders.
