Interesting, why would there be a need to extend it unless there was going to be a follow-on order, especially since it says the purpose of the extension is to extend the ordering period. Why do that if there wasn't the intention to place another order under the IDIQ? That would be very nice indeed. The new contract for $71M and initial order of a little over 1000 units is separate from this IDIQ and goes through 2018. It does have optional extensions that allow them to order more, but those are in following years. Maybe TSA wants more QS-B220's sooner than later, so will order more under the original IDIQ.
