    Original post

    If you have a multi-year contract for three years for the initial performance and include two option years to round out the 5 year PoP, does the cancellation fee only apply for the program years 2 and 3?

    FAR Clause 52.217-2(d)states:

    (1) Cost--

    (i) Incurred by the Contractor and/or subcontractor;

    (ii) Reasonably necessary for performance of the contract; and

    (iii) That would have been equitably amortized over the entire multi-year contract period but, because of the cancellation, are not so amortized; and

    (2) A reasonable profit or fee on the costs.

    * Does over the entire multi-year contract period include any options or just the program years?

    Yes, the cancellation charge will only apply for program years 2 and 3.

    You say you have a 3-year multi-year, so "over the entire multiyear contract period" includes only the period for those three years of requirements. The options are beyond the "multiyear period."

    Thank you.

    That was my assumption.
