Most contract terms will be for a BASE PERIOD with the possibility of one or more option periods. In nearly all instances, the total contract length, including options, will not exceed FIVE years.

Your answers to questions 6-10 will be used to determine the optimum contract length (i.e. Base plus option periods/years). There will normally be “BASE PERIOD” and then the Government will have the option to accept other periods/years, which are called “Option Periods.” NOTE: Regardless of how the contract would be structured in regards to BASE period and option periods, typically DLA will not issue a contract for less than THREE years or in excess of FIVE years total, including all option periods. NOTE: The length of the Base Period will not impact/change any guaranteed minimums or maximums on the contract (i.e. a contract with a one year base period would have the same guaranteed minimum/contract maximum as a contract with a three year base period.)

20. How many years would be your ideal Base period? 1 2 3

a. Please provide a brief explanation as to why this length of Base Period is optimal:

b. If you suggested an “ideal” base period of more than ONE year, would you be willing to accept a Base Period less than your “ideal” Base period but no less than ONE year?

YES NO

Please list any concerns you might have with doing so:

c. If you suggested a Base Period of more than ONE year, would you be able to hold pricing steady for the entire Base Period or would you require an annual price adjustment?

I can hold my prices for the Base Period I would require an annual price adjustment

d. Would you be able to provide better pricing with a longer base period?

21. Assuming an option period is equal to one year, how many option periods AFTER the Base period would you be willing to accept? 0 1 2 3 4

22. Assuming an option period is equal to one year, how many option periods AFTER the BASE period would be optimal: 0 1 2 3 4

NOTE: If you recommend an option period of greater than one year, please explain here:

23. If NONE to #21 or #22 above please explain why below:

24. Please provide any additional information that you feel would help us to set up a Base Period/Option Period structure that is most beneficial to the Government and Industry:
