The base performance period runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with four one-year optional extension periods available through August 31, 2031, contingent upon funding and government discretion.

Delivery is FOB Destination, shifting risk of loss to the government upon receipt at the designated sites, and acceptance is conducted exclusively by the government at those locations.
