The base effort covers 7.5 months through January 31, 2027, with five optional periods providing up to 52.5 additional months of extended services and 4.5 months for decommissioning and closeout. The base contract value is $874,191, with total option value of $7.383114 million. Price reasonableness will be determined through price analysis, historical comparison, and evaluation against an Independent Government Cost Estimate; no certified cost or pricing data will be required.
