This is to certify that the Office of Contracting and Procurement has $10,000.00 in its FY2021 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
years. Any additional orders placed on the DCSS contracts will be encumbered by the ordering agency prior to
issuance. There are approximately 420 contractors on the DCSS, and it is estimated that $10,000.00 would be
sufficient to cover the possibility of having to pay $10.00, upon request, to multiple contractors.
