IDIQ Contract Funding
An IDIQ award is potential revenue, not steady cash. Task orders come when the agency decides — but payroll comes every two weeks. Encore advances up to 90% of your invoice value so funding matches your real obligations.

Why IDIQ awards create cash-flow whiplash
An IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity) award sets a ceiling, not a schedule. Task orders arrive on the government's timing — sometimes in bunches, sometimes after long quiet stretches — but your fixed costs don't follow that rhythm. Payroll, subcontractors, and overhead are due on a steady cadence no matter when the next order drops.
That mismatch is the core challenge of holding an IDIQ. A surge of task orders demands cash to staff up and perform, then you wait Net-30 to Net-90 to get paid for work already delivered. The result is feast-or-famine cash flow on top of an award that's supposed to mean stability.
How Encore smooths the gap
When task orders hit, you deliver and invoice as usual. Encore advances up to 90% of each approved invoice — often within 48 hours of approval — so you can fund the staffing and materials a busy order period demands. When the agency pays, you receive the balance, less a transparent fee.
It's not a loan and not equity — it's your earned task-order receivables, accelerated. There's no fixed monthly payment and no dilution, and the line expands and contracts with your order volume, so you're covered during surges without carrying idle debt in the quiet months.
Built for unpredictable task-order timing
Encore was founded by the original Advance Partners team and has deployed over $25 billion in funding. We understand IDIQ structures, task-order award cycles, and prompt-payment timelines — so underwriting fits the unpredictable cadence of delivery-order work instead of assuming steady monthly revenue.
Whether you're a prime juggling task orders across a large IDIQ or a subcontractor funding payroll on a single order, financing flexes with your pipeline so a sudden surge of orders becomes an opportunity, not a cash crisis.
Frequently asked questions
My task orders are unpredictable. Does that affect funding?
No. Encore funds against the invoices you generate, whenever you generate them. The line scales up during busy order periods and quiets down between them, so you're never paying for capital you aren't using.
Is IDIQ contract funding a loan?
No. It advances cash against task-order invoices you've already earned, so it isn't debt and there's no fixed monthly repayment regardless of when the next order lands.
Can I get funded fast when a surge of orders hits?
Yes. Approval is typically within 48 hours, and once your line is established, advances on new task-order invoices can fund in as little as one business day — fast enough to staff up for a surge.
Do both primes and subcontractors qualify?
Yes. Whether you hold the IDIQ as a prime or perform task orders as a subcontractor, eligible invoices can be funded, and underwriting leans on the federal customer's creditworthiness.
