The Period of Performance for the proposed action is a three (3) month base period beginning 27 May 2013 to 27 August 2013 with an option for one evaluated 3-month option to extend the services if necessary. This bridge contract will be used so that a full and open competition can be completed.

The current contract is scheduled to expire on 27 May 2013. The new contract will provide for continuation of uninterrupted services for the Non Tactical Vehicle leasing services described above.
