Yes, Vern. That’s why I asked @Air Force One for clarifications. I’m asking if the requirement is being eliminated.
FAR 17.02 (as of FAC Number: 2025-04
Effective Date: 06/11/2025)
“…(c): “The contracting officer may exercise options only after determining that-
(1)Funds are available; [and]
(2)The requirement covered by the option fulfills an existing Government need; [and]
(3)The exercise of the option is [still] the most advantageous method of fulfilling the Government’s need, price and other factors (see paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section) considered; [and… ]. “
These are ALL required (not alternatively required) before the KO can exercise the next option.
We don’t know…
