Any such geographic expansion of services is contingent upon the contractor's demonstrated capability and must be executed via a formal, bilaterally negotiated contract modification. The Government makes no guarantee that additional locations will be added, and the contractor shall not incur costs for other locations until a modification is formally executed.
