    Original post

    Are Task Orders contracts?

    See ASBCA decision.

    http://www.asbca.mil/Decisions/2012/57400%20MCC%20Construction%20Corporation%207.16.12%20WEB.pdf

    Compare with Delex GAO decision.

    Any thoughts?

    charles,

    For purposes of interpreting the word "contract" as it is used in the FAR, task orders are contracts. Note that in the ASBCA decision that you cited, the board was not trying to interpret the word "contract" as it is used in the FAR--they were trying to interpret the term "contracting opportunities" as that term was used in a statute.
