This clause allows the government to extend services multiple times, provided the total extension does not exceed six months. Rates for these extended services may only be adjusted if there are revisions to prevailing labor rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor. The Contracting Officer must provide written notice to the contractor within five calendar days to exercise this option. This provision is commonly used in federal government RFPs to maintain service continuity when needed, offering flexibility while setting clear limitations on extensions and rate adjustments.
