Delivery Order
Definition
A Delivery Order is an order placed against an existing contract for supplies or products. Unlike task orders (which are for services), delivery orders specify quantities, delivery dates, and destinations for physical goods or standard commercial items.
Delivery orders are common under GSA Schedules, BPAs, and supply-type IDIQ contracts. They provide a streamlined mechanism for obtaining products without new procurement actions. Contractors must have inventory or supply chain capacity to meet delivery requirements and may face penalties for late or non-conforming deliveries.
