The parent contract doesn't have anything to say about the ordering process?

What do you mean? Using a TO to modify the scope of the parent contract?

Extend the scope of what? The contract or an order under the contract?

See FAR 15.000, Scope of part:

Quote

This part prescribes policies and procedures governing competitive and noncompetitive negotiated acquisitions. A contract awarded using other than sealed bidding procedures is a negotiated contract (see 14.101).

Now see the definition of "contract" in FAR 2.101.

The USG released a Task Order under an existing contract to extend the scope.  The company submitted a proposal in response to the new statement of work.  The USG would like to negotiate the cost of the proposal.  I'm trying to figure out is this negotiated in the same manner as a competitive solicitation. Since we are using the existing contract we are not going through source selection.  What guidelines are used to negotiated a Task Order on a existing contract that is still open?  Thanks

Is this action a fair opportunity (competitive) task order request? Is the existing ID/IQ contract sole source or is there a pool of contractors?

Is it an action to to extend an existing task order with or without modifying the statement of work?

You said it is not a “source selection”. A task order competition or sole source task order action is not a source selection, so what you said is unclear.
