The only contract term identified is a delivery schedule after the items are exercised. My main concern is trying to keep the contract alive, if possible, until the next years requirement, as the customer has indicated there is no current year requirement (although originally planned). The procurement was also sole source.

No. Unfortunately. If it's possible to do a timeframe extension, couldn't I also add 52.217-9 at the same time?

Hi. I have a question concerning a GSA order for hardware. The CLIN structure is set up based on five years of requirements identified as base CLINs with option CLINs for each fiscal year. The order includes clause 52.217-7 "Option for Increased Quantity?Separately Priced Line Item" which provides a number of days given to exercise the next set of option CLINs. The customer has indicated there is no need to exercise the next fiscal years requirements, but there is still a need for the following year. My question is: Is it possible to extend out the validity time to exercise the next Option CLINs for a whole year to keep the contract alive? Would I have to limit the contract to five years if the modifying the timeframe carries the contract out beyond the five year limit for a supply-type contract as stated in FAR 17.204(e)? Thanks.
