The contracts will also include a provision for a unilateral option on the part of the contracting officer to extend the contract by up to two option periods of eighteen months each.  The annual estimated value of this acquisition (all contracts awarded for the 2 year base and two 18- month option periods) is $130 million per year with a $900 million five year maximum contract value. 

In general, the scope of the acquisition includes MRO materials and other supplies, including but not limited to:  heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC); plumbing supplies (including bath and shower items, and ablution units); electrical products (including generators, wire, connectors, sockets, outlets, lights, etc.); tools of various kinds; chemical, lubricating, and rubber products and products including same; construction supplies (including but not limited to cement, lumber and plywood, bricks, blocks, steel, aluminum, and other metal products, conduits, prefabricated structures to include re-locatable buildings (RLBs & ablution units), etc.; perimeter security items such as barriers, barbed wire, concertina wire, and sand bags (also used for erosion prevention); communication devices (such as walkie-talkies, two-way radios, etc. used by the maintenance personnel) and various other immediate need maintenance and repair items.
