a prudent person would pay when consideration is given to prices in the market. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through cost and price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404.

As part of the price fair and reasonable determination, the Government will evaluate all options and its option to extend services (see

FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding six (6) months of each Quoter¿s last option year price to the

Quoter¿s total price. The Quoter shall not submit a price for the potential six (6) month extension of services period. The Government may choose to exercise the options and/or Extension of Services at the end of the performance period, utilizing the rates of that performance period.
