A,14 OPTION PERIODS - TASK ORDER/DELIVERY ORDER UNDER A GSA FEDERAL SUPPLYSCHEDULE CONTRACT (MARCH 2007)

The Period of Performance (PoP) for this requirement may extend beyond the Offeror's current PoP on their GSASchedule. Offerors may submit proposals for the entire PoP as long as their current GSA Schedule covers therequested PoP, or their GSA Schedule contains GSA's "Evergreen Clause" (Option to Extend the Term of the Contract),which covers the requested PoP if/when the option(s) are exercised. Offerors are encouraged to submitaccurate/realistic pricing for the requirement's entire PoP, even if the proposed GSA Schedule does not include pricingfor the applicable option years, etc.

For proposal evaluation purposes, the NRC assumes that applicable Evergreen Clause Option(s) will be exercisedand the NRC will apply price analysis, as applicable. It is in the best Interest of the Offeror to explain major deviations inescalation, proposed in any Evergreen Clause option years. Resulting GSA task/delivery order option years subject tothe Evergreen Clause will be initially priced utilizing the same rates proposed under the last GSA-priced year of thesubject GSA Schedule. Upon GSA's exercise of the GSA Schedule option year(s) applicable to the Evergreen Clause,the NRC will modify the awarded task/delivery order to incorporate either the proposed pricing for the option years or theGSA-approved pricing (whichever is lower).

It Is incumbent upon the Offeror to provide sufficient documentation (GSA-signed schedule, schedule modifications,etc,) that shows both the effective dates, pricing and terms/conditions of the current GSA Schedule, as well asEvergreen Clause terms/conditions (as applicable). Failure to provide this documentation may result in the Offeror'sproposal being found unacceptable.
