AQD Evaluation of Options Provision (MAR 2022)

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic award. To account for the possible use of the additional six-month option period(s) permitted under 52.217-8, the Government will take the price for the final (or highest priced) option period, prorated to a six-month value, and add it to the sum of the base plus all option periods. The agency's price evaluation will mathematically document the calculation of adding the six months of services for the option to extend services to the total contract price in the award summary.

This amount will be used for comparative evaluation for award purposes only. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options.

FAR 52.217-8 can be exercised at any point during the period of performance of the contract and applies to the period of performance immediately preceding exercising the option.
