My experience has been that, when it comes to 8(a)'s, the SBA usually has no objections to increasing contracts even if that means surpassing scope, or adding contract time. They want 8(a)'s to get contracts and dollars, period. Even if you went out with a new contract (versus two option years), you'd probably do a sole source to an 8(a) (likely even the same 8(a)), so they're agreeing you can take the path of least resistance and just add the options.

We have a T&M contract with a federal agency. However, we have been unable to do any work for 3 days now due to an extended power outage in their building. We cannot gain access to the building, the computers or the work. Can we still bill the agency for this time?
