How to evaluate cost/price for IDIQ single award contract?

How would you recommend to evaluate cost/price for an IDIQ for catalog (long list) of IT hardware items on a single award contract? At source selection, I may want to evaluate mulitple offerors proposed costs for IT hardware items. If I pursue a single award how do I reduce the risk of agreeing to a price at contract award and then as technology develops over the PoP, I overpay in later years for outdated equipment that I could purchase at lower prices?

I have a requirement for a preventative maintenance service contract with a value under 10k. Does the FAR require a DD Form 2579?
