FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services is included in this RFP. Pricing for this clause will be evaluated during the cost/price evaluation. The evaluation will consider the possibility that the option can be exercised at any time, and can be exercised in increments of one to six months, but not for more than a total of six months during the life of the contract. The evaluation will assume that the prices for any option exercised under FAR 52.217-8 will be at the same rates as those in effect under the contract at the time the option is exercised. The evaluation will therefore assume that the addition of the price or prices of any possible extension or extensions under FAR 52.217-8 to the total price for the basic requirement and the total price for the priced options has the same effect on the total price of all proposals relative to each other, and will not affect the ranking of proposals based on price, unless after reviewing proposals, the Government determines that there is a basis for finding otherwise. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options under any option clause.
