    Are you able to create new options on an existing task order that has no options?  Existing Task Order will expire six months from now.

    I presume that the underlying contract is multiple award.

    The answer to your question is yes. However, a new option would be out-of-scope and tantamount to a new order, subject to all of the rules that apply to all new orders.

    Yes, the underlying contract is a multiple award.  Is there specific guidance/policy that says you can/can't add options to an existing task order?  Thank you.

    In order for you to add work to an existing task order by adding a new extension new option without giving the other contractors a fair opportunity to be considered for that work, you must comply with FAR 16.505(b)(2) and any applicable contract terms..
