Frequently Asked Questions

Some frequently asked questions about the service that you may have questions about

What are statewide IDIQ contracts?

Statewide IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity) contracts are preawarded procurement vehicles issued by state governments, allowing agencies to order services or goods on demand—within specified minimum and maximum values—over a fixed time period. They function similarly to federal IDIQs but are managed at the state level.

What are cooperative contracts?

Cooperative purchasing contracts are agreements made by government entities—such as states, municipalities, universities, or school districts—to pool purchasing power and access competitively procured contracts through another agency. Members can use these contracts directly without issuing their own RFPs.

How do statewide and cooperative contracts benefit vendors?

They offer cost-effective entry to multiple public-sector buyers through a single contract award. Vendors gain access to wider opportunity streams, reduce bid overhead, and often enjoy faster ordering once onboarded.

Are these contracts like federal IDIQ vehicles?

Yes—they operate on similar principles. Agencies issue task or delivery orders based on pre-negotiated terms, within set minimum and maximum ceilings. Some are single-award, others multipleaward, inviting further competition at the order level.

What types of services or products are covered by these contracts?

They span many categories: IT hardware and services, cloud solutions, construction and facilities MRO, office supplies, consulting, and more—varying by state and cooperative program.

How do you decide whether to pursue a statewide or cooperative contract?

We analyze your NAICS codes, service offerings, state access focus, certifications (e.g. small business, HUBZone), and teaming options to recommend the most strategic vehicle fit for your growth plan.

Can businesses team under statewide/cooperative contracts?

Yes. If your firm cannot prime, we help you identify relevant prime holders to team with—allowing you to participate in orders and build past performance for future direct awards.

What is required to maintain compliance on these contracts?

Contracts require adherence to ordering procedures, reporting standards, pricing policies, and renewal deadlines. Vendors often must submit performance reports and may be subject to audits—similar to federal compliance expectations.

Do these vehicles guarantee orders?

No—they guarantee eligibility to receive orders, but no specific work unless task or delivery orders are issued. Volume depends on member agency needs and competition.

How does RFPHelper support clients with these contracts?

We assist with identifying applicable contracts, preparing proposals for award, crafting pricing models and capture strategies, ensuring compliance requirements are met, and supporting task- or delivery-order responses to help you win and grow.
