ORDERING CONTRACTING OFFICER (OCO) GUIDELINES

How to place an order for EIS services

EIS is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract requiring task orders (TOs) in accordance with FAR 16.505. Agencies ordering services from EIS must follow the ordering process in accordance with FAR 16.505. A contracting officer (or ordering official) with a delegated procurement authority (DPA) must place a TO for services. After the ordering contracting officer (OCO) awards the TO, EIS allows for the placement of service orders within the limitations of the TO and the contract. Only OCOs and contracting officers’ representatives (CORs) may place a service order.
