SPO decision is final and is subject to the disputes clause of the contract. Exercise of any

Incentive Option hereunder shall be at the discretion of the PCO in accordance FAR 17.207 and shall be executed by modification to the contract.

The plan may be changed unilaterally prior to the beginning of an evaluation period. The Contractor will be notified of changes to the plan by the CO, in writing, before the start of the affected evaluation period. Nothing in this document diminishes the rights of the Government under any other term or condition of the contract.
