Title 41 › Subtitle I — Federal Procurement Policy › CHAPTER 41 — TASK AND DELIVERY ORDER CONTRACTS › § 4101
Defines two kinds of government contracts used when the job size isn't fixed and the agency will place orders while the contract is active. A delivery order contract is for buying property when no firm quantity is set (a minimum or maximum may be allowed) and the buyer issues delivery orders during the contract. A task order contract is for buying services under the same rules: no fixed quantity (except min or max) and orders for tasks are issued while the contract runs.
