(not just for Contracting Officers!)Starting off the new year with acronym soup.  MAC (multi-agency contracts or multi-award contracts) IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts) are a commonly used government acquisition tool that make it easier for the government to compete and award requirements.  Easier than what?  Good question - and the answer is "it depends".  Kevin and Paul discuss the pros and cons of MAC IDIQs and how both government and industry can leverage them to efficiently buy and sell goods and services.         _________If you enjoy this podcast, check out Skyway Acquisition at skywaymember.com  to begin your relationship with our team of former contracting officers.
