Federal agency buyers can include options on Multiple Award Schedule contract orders if your options are clearly stated in the requirement and evaluated as part of your “best value” determination, in accordance with the requirements of FAR 17.207.
You can exercise these options if:
Funds are available.
The requirement covered by the option fulfills an existing government need.
You ensure that it is still in the government’s best interest — that the option is the most advantageous method of fulfilling the government’s need with price and other factors considered.
The term is specified in the order. Do not place an order if the MAS contract has expired, or if the contract has been terminated or canceled.
Pricing, including options, does not exceed pricing on the MAS contract. Pricing is set before any award is made, which includes exercising options.
You do not exercise options beyond the ordering period of the MAS contract, including the MAS contract option year periods, unless the contract includes Clause 52.216-22 that allows up to 60 months after the contract expires.
Don’t forget to consider the length of the order and your risk as part of the overall evaluation of best value.
