What are the base and option start/end dates, and which pricing schedule controls? The RFP shows one annual maintenance job and a November 30, 2026 delivery date. Attachment 02 lists a base year, four options and six more months. The evaluation text also mentions all options, while 52.217-3 says evaluation excludes options.

Start and end dates will be established upon award. Services are expected to begin as soon as possible, once award has been made. All pricing should be based on the pricing sheet attachment as stated in section L. Services will cover 1 base year, 4 option years and a 6-month option. -While we work on all units the reality is that manufacturers do not cross train their competitors.
