This telecommunications service contract shall continue on a month to month basis with a not to exceed date of 48 MONTHS.

Accordingly the U.S. Government may discontinue service, at no additional cost to U.S. Government. U.S. Government will provide Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP)

30 days notice prior to discontinuing service before the not to exceed period. Contractors shall consider the ability of the

Government to discontinue service with 30 days notice when determining the reasonableness of incurring any costs. See

Quotes that do not accept the minimum one month service period may be excluded from the competition and found unacceptable. In the event U.S. Government is unable to obtain quotes that meet this minimum service period, U.S.

Government may consider quotes with a minimum service period greater than one month.

The Government reserves the right to re-solicit these contracted services prior to the end of the not to exceed contract period when commercial market pricing demonstrates these services become available at lower prices.
