IBKR's bond liquidity providers require IBKR to hold an order for a US Treasury until it is marketable. Your T-Bill, T-Note or T-Bond order must pay the disseminated Ask for the entire size quoted or IBKR will not route the order to a dealer. If you review the contract's Time & Sales data in TWS (right-click on the bond, click Analytical Tools followed by Time & Sales) you can see that the offer size for most T-Bills is quite large, so it is possible that IBKR's bond dealers do not want to trade anything smaller at that time. Using a Limit type order with a marketable price can be routed to all of the IBKR Bond Dealers as not all of IBKR’s Bond Dealers accept every available order type.
