About this file
This document is a NASA (NAM) contract guidance document providing instructions for modifying federal acquisition regulations (FAR) related to evaluation of commercial items and service contract options. The guidance requires two specific modifications to solicitations and resulting contracts:
First, contracting officers must modify specific FAR clauses to state that the government will evaluate offers by adding the total price for all options to the basic requirement's price when determining total evaluated price. This includes options under the "Option to Extend Services" clause, though evaluation does not obligate the government to exercise those options. Second, all solicitations and contracts must include a statement that the "Option to Extend Services" clause is for government use in service contract extensions, and can be exercised at any time during the contract's life using rates applicable at the time of exercise.
