A-E individual delivery task orders shall not exceed the annual or option period ceiling (currently $2M per year). Requirements in excess of $550,000 should be solicited as individual A-E contracts. When the contracting officer elects to place a delivery task order in excess of $550,000 a memorandum must be placed in the file determining why this is appropriate. The total of all orders under each individual (12 month) contract period, as stated above, shall not exceed $2 million.
