(b)  On September 28, 2012, by Modification No. 3, the Office of Contracting and Procurement (“OCP”) exercised a partial option of option year one of Contract No. DCPO-2012-T-0368 with Accenture Federal Services, LLC, in the amount of $560,230.00 for the period from October 1, 2012 through February 28, 2013.
