Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 3, March 20, 2024

A. A term contract (also referred to as an indefinite quantity purchase) is a purchase by which a source of supply is established for a specific period of time. Term contracts are usually based on indefinite quantities to be ordered as needed, and no quantities are guaranteed. This type of contract can also be used to specify definite quantities with deliveries extended over the contract period.

B. Term contracts may contain an option for renewal or extension of the contract; however, this provision must be included in the bid solicitation. When such a contract is awarded by competitive sealed bidding, exercise of the option shall be at the discretion of the department only and shall be with the mutual agreement of the contractor.

C. A term contract or indefinite quantity purchase may also be referred to as invitation for bids throughout this rule.
