This is to certify that the Office of Contracting and Procurement has $10,000.00 in its FY2020 budget to cover
potential costs that may be incurred if a minimum order is not achieved for the District of Columbia Supply
Schedule (DCSS) contracts.
Each DCSS contract has been established as an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, and agencies
may place orders against each contract by means of an individual Task Order (TO) or delivery order (DO). If no
orders are placed against a particular DCSS contract, pursuant to the DCSS Terms and Conditions, clause 5, the
District guarantees the minimum order for each contract in the amount of $10.00 for the base year and four option
