                    When the contracting
officer calculates the applicable threshold, consider the actual
or estimated value of the contract for the entire term of the contract,
including any option period(s). This also applies to schedule contracts
and other indefinite delivery type contracts. Consider the estimated
value of all orders expected to be placed during the term plus all options.</p>

permits the contracting officer to require submission of subcontracting
plans with initial offers under a negotiated acquisition. The contracting

concerns) to submit subcontracting plans with their initial offers
when a negotiated acquisition meets all conditions:</p>
