Sec.  37.106  Funding and term of service contracts.

    (a) When contracts for services are funded by annual appropriations, 
the term of contracts so funded shall not extend beyond the end of the 
fiscal year of the appropriation except when authorized by law (see 
paragraph (b) of this section for certain service contracts, 32.703-2 
for contracts conditioned upon availability of funds, and 32.703-3 for 
contracts crossing fiscal years).
    (b) The head of an executive agency, except NASA, may enter into a 
contract, exercise an option, or place an order under a contract for 
severable services for a period that begins in one fiscal year and ends 
in the next fiscal year if the period of the contract awarded, option 
exercised, or order placed does not exceed one year (10 U.S.C. 2410a and 
41 U.S.C. 253l). Funds made available for a fiscal year may be obligated 
for the total amount of an action entered into under this authority.
    (c) Agencies with statutory multiyear authority shall consider the 
use of this authority to encourage and promote economical business 
operations when acquiring services.
