1. FAR Part 17 Special Contracting Methods...Options:
   1. With only three weeks remaining on a contract, your agency has decided it wants to exercise the option for an additional year of performance. However, they did not provide the contractor with the 60 days advance notice required by FAR 52.217-9. Can they still exercise the option? Cite a specific GAO decision or a court case to support your answer.
   2. If the requirements change, how does that affect the Government's right to exercise the option?
