Exactly. As I have already stated, The US Navy is now considering an urgent ID/IQ MAC contract - which by definition means that "multiple companies that have the basic qualifications to perform a general type of work" would be included in the award.
There are only 2 companies in the world with assets available in the near / immediate future - $TMPS and Omega.
It will not take 18 months to implement as the ID/IQ process is much quicker and the need is immediate and will be ongoing for many years - at least 10.
From the GSA website:
Q: What is a multiple award contract, and why is it better than other contract types?
A: A multiple-award contract confirms that multiple companies have the basic qualifications to perform a general type of work. This type of contract puts into effect the government’s preference for multiple awards for IDIQ-type contracts in order to maximize competition and choice for specific supplies and services.
Q: You contend that this approach will save me time and resources. How is that possible with nine firms to learn about and choose from?
A: The contact center services industry is competitive. It is not uncommon for you to receive bids from more than 20 vendors if the procurement is done through a full and open competition process. The amount of time and resources needed to support a procurement effort through a full and open competition process is greater than through the streamlined competition process our new approach affords.

Q: What is an "indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity" contract?
A: An indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity contract is used to acquire supplies and/or services when the exact times and/or exact quantities of future deliveries are not known at the time of contract award.
