  1. I am in the process of extending the term of the contract pursuant to FAR clause 52.217-9. I have provided the required 30 day preliminary written notice of intent to the contractor and subsequent 3 day notification to exercise the option before the contract expires as provided under the clause. For the sake of example, let's say the contract expiration date is 28 Mar 2013 under the existing contract. The period of performance under the new option is specified as 29 Mar 2013 thru 28 Mar 2014. The 3 day notification to the contractor is the SF30 modification to cover the new performance period. The effective date inserted in block 3 of the modification is 29 Mar 2013 (commencement date for the new period of performance), and date signed in block 16C is 25 Mar 2013 (3 day period of time within which the contracting officer may exercise the option). The modification was then sent via e-mail to the contractor on 25 Mar 2013, same date KO signed. Two questions 1) does the effective date also have to be 25 Mar (same as date signed); and 2) when FAR 52.217-9 states to insert the period of time "within" which the contracting officer may exercise the option, does this mean the mod could be sent on the 25th, 26th or 27th, or does it have to be sent where there are at least 3 days remaining before the expiration date? I hope I've presented this clearly. Nice to see you are still around Vern, you were my "best value" idol!!!!
