MAC
Multiple Award Contract
Definition
A Multiple Award Contract is a contract vehicle with more than one awardee, enabling task order competition among contract holders. MACs provide flexibility and maintain competition at the order level while streamlining procurement through pre-competed umbrella contracts.
MAC success requires competitive positioning for both contract award and subsequent task orders. Understanding MAC structures helps contractors develop appropriate win strategies. MAC vehicles are common for services requiring diverse capabilities or geographic coverage.
