The base performance period will be effective from the date of award for one year thereafter. Performance may extend one optional year or until the property is sold, transferred or the BPA is terminated, whichever occurs first. The option may or may not be exercised by the Contracting Officer. The BPA may be cancelled by either party in writing at any time according to the terms of the agreement.
