Options: Due to varying in-house capacity to provide services similar to those the subject matter of this contract, there may be ad hoc requirements for services of a similar nature available to the successful candidate; however there is no guarantee of this, and in any event the value of any such business will not exceed 50% of the estimated value of this contract.
