§186 Library of Congress Orders Under Task and Delivery Order Contracts

Summary

The Librarian of Congress cannot use a task-order or delivery-order to make a contract bigger, longer, or raise its dollar limit. Any change to scope, period, or maximum value must be made by formally modifying the underlying contract. Task-order and delivery-order contracts are types of agreements used to order work or supplies under a larger contract. You can’t protest one of these orders under the usual federal protest process unless you say the order violates the no-increase rule or the order is worth more than $10,000,000. If the order is over $10,000,000, only the Comptroller General can decide that protest. These rules apply starting in fiscal year 2022 and afterward.
