Blanket Tasking Unit

Definition

A Blanket Tasking Unit is a pre-established work unit or service increment used to simplify ordering and pricing under blanket purchase agreements or task order contracts. BTUs define standardized service packages with fixed prices, enabling rapid ordering without individual negotiations.

BTU structures reduce administrative burden for routine, recurring requirements. Understanding how BTUs are defined and priced helps contractors develop competitive rate structures and efficient delivery models. BTU-based contracts emphasize responsiveness and consistent service delivery at established price points.
