RDO

A Reimbursable Delivery Order is a delivery order funded by a customer agency rather than the contracting agency that holds the contract vehicle. RDOs enable agencies to leverage existing contracts established by other agencies, with the ordering agency providing funds to reimburse the contracting agency.

RDO arrangements are common with government-wide contract vehicles where multiple agencies place orders. The contracting agency may charge administrative fees to cover contract management costs. Contractors receiving RDOs should understand the funding source and any unique requirements the ordering agency may impose within the contract's scope.
