Section 320. Authority for multiyear awards

A. An Area Agency on Aging may enter into a multiyear subcontract provided such contract has a completion date, a binding schedule of costs for each year of the entire contract period, a satisfactory performance clause, and a funds-availability clause. An optional-year contract is the preferred contracting mechanism for multiyear awards.

B. The maximum period of time for a multiyear subcontract from the effective date of the contract to close-out shall be five years. Any subcontracts for periods longer than five years shall be reprocured and renegotiated at the end of the five-year period through normal competitive processes.
