If you responded "YES" to question (3), on the COMMERCIAL SALES
PRACTICES FORMAT, complete the chart in question (4)(a) for the
customer(s) who receive your best price. If you responded "NO" complete
the chart in question (4)(a) showing your written policies or standard
sales practices for all customers or customer categories to whom you
sell at a price that is equal to or better than the price(s) offered to
the Government under this solicitation or with which the Offeror has a
current agreement to sell at a price which equals or exceeds the
price(s) offered under this solicitation. Such agreement shall be in
effect on the date the offer is submitted or contain an effective date
during the proposed multiple award schedule contract period. If your
offer is lower than your price to other customers or customer
categories, you will be aligned with the customer or category of
customer that receives your best price for purposes of the Price
Reduction clause at 552.238-75. The Government expects you to provide
information required by the format in accordance with these instructions
that is, to the best of your knowledge and belief, current, accurate,
and complete as of 14 calendar days prior to its submission. You must
also disclose any changes in your price list(s), discounts, prices
and/or policies that occur after the offer is submitted, but before the
close of negotiations. If your pricing practices vary, the variations
should be explained clearly to include a description of the
circumstance, frequency, and selling terms and conditions. You may limit
the information reported to those services that exceed 75% of actual
historical Government sales (commercial sales may be substituted if
Government sales are unavailable) value of the special item number
(SIN).

**Column 1**---**Identify the applicable customer or category of
customer**. A \"customer\" is any entity which acquires supplies or
services from the Offeror. The term customer includes, but is not
limited to state and local governments, educational institutions (an
elementary, junior high, or degree granting school which maintains a
regular faculty and established curriculum and an organized body of
students), national accounts, and end users. In any instance where the
Offeror is asked to disclose information for a customer, the Offeror may
disclose information by category of customer if the offeror\'s pricing
policies or practices are the same for all customers in the category.
(Use a separate line for each customer or category of customer.)\
**Column 2---Identify the price.** Indicate the best price (based on
your written pricing policies or standard commercial pricing practices
if you do not have written pricing policies) at which you sell to the
customer or category of customer identified in column 1, without regard
to quantity; terms and conditions of the agreements; and whether the
agreements are written or oral. If the price is a combination of various
discounts (prompt payment, quantity, etc.), each type of discount should
be fully identified and explained. If the price lists which are the
basis of the discounts given to the customers identified in the chart
are different than the price list submitted upon which your offer is
based, identify the type or title and date of each price list. The
contracting officer may require submission of these price lists. To
expedite evaluation, offerors may provide these price lists at the time
of submission. If market prices are used, provide documentation to
substantiate pricing (e.g., agreements with corporate customers,
internal policies, market prices, quote sheets, pricing agreements and
invoices, etc.) and identify the effective period, pricing and any other
terms and conditions clearly. If prices are based on cost, provide
information other than certified cost or pricing data to show how the
offeror arrived at the proposed price. A price certification is not
required. If rates are audited by a Federal Agency, include this
information in the narrative. Disclosures should be made on a separate
sheet.\
**Column 3---Identify the quantity or volume of sales.** Insert the
minimum quantity or sales volume which the identified customer or
category of customer must either purchase/order, per order or within a
specified period for the best price. When purchases/orders must be
placed within a specified period to get the best price, indicate the
time period.\
**Column 4---Indicate concessions regardless of quantity granted to the
identified customer or category of customer.** Concessions are defined
in solicitation clause 552.212-70, Preparation of Offers (Multiple Award
Schedule). If the space provided is inadequate, the disclosure should be
made on a separate sheet by reference.\
**Columns 5-8---Fill in the requested information.\
**If you respond "YES" to question 4 (c) in the Commercial Sales
Practices Format, provide an explanation of the circumstances under
which you deviate from your written policies or standard commercial
sales practices disclosed in the chart on the Commercial Sales Practices
Format and explain how often they occur. Your explanation should include
a discussion of situations that lead to deviations from standard
practice, an explanation of how often they occur, and the controls you
employ to assure the integrity of your pricing. If deviations from your
written policies or standard commercial sales practices disclosed in the
chart on the Commercial Sales Practices Format are so significant and/or
frequent that the Contracting Officer cannot establish whether the
price(s) offered is fair and reasonable, then you may be asked to
provide additional information. The Contracting Officer may ask for
information to demonstrate that you have made substantial sales of the
item(s) in the commercial market consistent with the information
reflected on the chart on the Commercial Sales Practice Format, a
description of the conditions surrounding those sales deviations, or
other information that may be necessary in order for the Contracting
Officer to determine whether your offered price(s) is fair and
reasonable. In cases where additional information is requested, the
Contracting Officer will target the request in order to limit the
submission of data to that needed to establish the reasonableness of the
offered price.

reduces the overall cost of a customer's acquisition or encourages a
customer to consummate a purchase. Concessions include, but are not
limited to freight allowance, extended warranty, extended price

limited to, rebates, quantity discounts, purchase option credits, and
any other terms or conditions other than concessions) which reduce the
amount of money a customer ultimately pays for goods or services ordered
or received. Any net price lower than the list price is considered a
"discount" by the percentage difference from the list price to the net
price.

\(b\) For each Special Item Number (SIN) included in an offer, the
Offeror shall provide the information outlined in paragraph (c).
Offerors may provide a single response covering more than one SIN, if
the information disclosed is the same for all products under each SIN.
If discounts and concessions vary by model or product line, offerors
shall ensure that information is clearly annotated as to item or items
referenced.

\(c\) Provide information described below for each SIN:

\(1\) Two copies of the offeror's current published (dated or otherwise
identified) commercial descriptive catalogs and/or price list(s) from

price list represent a verbatim extract from the Offeror's commercial
catalog and/or price list and identify the descriptive catalog and/or
price list from which the information has been extracted.

\(2\) Next to each offered item in the commercial catalog and/or price
list, the Offeror shall write the special item number (SIN) under which
the item is being offered. Unless a special catalog or price list is
submitted, all other items shall be marked "excluded," lined out, and
initialed by the offeror.

\(3\) The discount(s) offered under this solicitation. The description
of discounts offered shall include all discounts, such as prompt payment
discounts, quantity/dollar volume discounts (indicate whether
models/products can be combined within the SIN or whether SINs can be
combined to earn discounts), blanket purchase agreement discounts, or
purchase option credits. If the terms of sale appearing in the
commercial catalogs or price list on which an offer is based are in
conflict with the terms of this solicitation, the latter shall govern.

\(4\) A description of concessions offered under this solicitation which
are not granted to other customers. Such concessions may include, but
are not limited to, an extended warranty, a return/exchange goods
policy, or enhanced or additional services.

#### 552.216-70 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT---FSS MULTIPLE AWARD SCHEDULE CONTRACTS (SEP 1999) (ALTERNATE I---SEP 1999) (DEVIATION I \-- APR 2007) 

Price adjustments include price increases and price decreases.
Adjustments will be considered as follows:

\(a\) Contractors shall submit price decreases anytime during the
contract period in which they occur. Price decreases will be handled in
accordance with the provisions of the Price Reduction Clause.

\(b\) Contractors may request price increases providing all of the
following conditions are met:

\(1\) Increases resulting from a reissue or other modification of the
Contractor\'s commercial catalog/pricelist that was used as the basis
for the contract award.

\(2\) Increases are requested before the last 60 days of the contract
period.

\(3\) At least 30 days elapse between requested increases.

\(c\) The following material shall be submitted with the request for a
price increase:

\(1\) A copy of the commercial catalog/pricelist showing the price
increase and the effective date for commercial customers.

\(2\) Commercial Sales Practice format regarding the Contractor\'s
commercial pricing practice relating to the reissued or modified
catalog/pricelist, or a certification that no change has occurred in the
data since completion of the initial negotiation or a subsequent
submission.

\(3\) Documentation supporting the reasonableness of the price increase.

\(d\) The Government reserves the right to exercise one of the following
options:

\(1\) Accept the Contractor\'s price increases as requested when all
conditions of (b), (c), and (d) of this clause are satisfied;

\(2\) Negotiate more favorable discounts from the new commercial prices
when the total increase requested is not supported; or,

\(3\) Remove the product(s) from contract involved pursuant to the
Cancellation Clause of this contract, when the increase requested is not
supported.

\(e\) The contract modification reflecting the price adjustment shall be
made effective upon *signature of* the Contracting Officer, provided
that in no event shall such price adjustment be effective prior to the
effective date of the commercial price increases. The increased contract
prices shall apply to delivery orders issued to the Contractor on or
after the effective date of the contract modification.

#### I-FSS-969 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT---FSS MULTIPLE AWARD SCHEDULE (JAN 2002) 

Price adjustments include price increases and price decreases.
Adjustments will be considered as follows:

\(a\) Contractors shall submit price decreases anytime during the
contract period in which they occur. Price decreases will be handled in
accordance with the provisions of the Price Reduction Clause.

\(b\) There are two types of economic price adjustments (EPAs) possible
under the Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) program for contracts not based
on commercial catalogs or price lists as described below. Price
adjustments may be effective on or after the first 12 months of the
contract period on the following basis:

\(1\) Adjustments based on escalation rates negotiated prior to contract
award. Normally, when escalation rates are negotiated, they result in a
fixed price for the term of the contract. No separate contract
modification will be provided when increases are based on negotiated
escalation rates. Price increases will be effective on the 12-month
anniversary date of the contract effective date, subject to paragraph
(f), below.

\(2\) Adjustments based on an agreed-upon market indicator prior to
award. The market indicator, as used in this clause, means the
originally released public index, public survey or other public, based
market indicator. The market indicator shall be the originally released
index, survey or market indicator, not seasonally adjusted, published by
the \[to be negotiated\], and made available at \[to be identified\].
Any price adjustment shall be based on the percentage change in the
designated (i.e. indicator identification and date) market indicator
from the initial award to the latest available as of the anniversary
date of the contract effective date, subject to paragraph (e), below. If
the market indicator is discontinued or deemed no longer available or
reliable by the Government, the Government and the Contractor will
mutually agree to a substitute. The contract modification reflecting the
price adjustment will be effective upon approval by the Contracting
Officer, subject to paragraph (g), below. The adjusted prices shall
apply to orders issued to the Contractor on or after the effective date
of the contract modification.

\(c\) Nothwithstanding the two economic price adjustments discussed
above, the Government recognizes the potential impact of unforeseeable
major changes in market conditions. For those cases where such changes
do occur, the contracting officer will review requests to make
adjustments, subject to the Government's examination of industry-wide
market conditions and the conditions in paragraph (d) and (e), below. If
adjustments are accepted, the contract will be modified accordingly. The
determination of whether or not extra-ordinary circumstances exist rests
with the contracting officer. The determination of an appropriate
mechanism of adjustment will be subject to negotiations.

\(d\) Conditions of Price change requests under paragraphs b(2) and c
above.:

\(1\) No more than three increases will be considered during each
succeeding 12-month period of the contract. (For succeeding contract
periods of less than 12 months, up to three increases will be considered
subject to the other conditions of subparagraph (b)).

\(2\) Increases are requested before the last 60 days of the contract
period, including options.

\(3\) At least 30 days elapse between requested increases.

\(4\) In any contract period during which price increases will be
considered, the aggregate of the increases during any 12-month period
shall not exceed \*\_\_\_\_\_\_\* percent (\*\_\_\_\_\_\_\*%) of the
contract unit price in effect at the end of the preceding 12-month
period. The Government reserves the right to raise the ceiling when
market conditions during the contract period support such a change.

\(e\) The following material shall be submitted with request for a price
increase under paragraphs b(2) and c above:

\(1\) A copy of the index, survey or pricing indicator showing the price
increase and the effective date.

\(2\) Commercial Sales Practice format, per contract clause 52.215-21
Alternate IV, demonstrating the relationship of the Contractor\'s
commercial pricing practice to the adjusted pricing proposed or a
certification that no change has occurred in the data since completion
of the initial negotiation or a subsequent submission.

\(3\) Any other documentation requested by the Contracting Officer to
support the reasonableness of the price increase.

\(f\) The Government reserves the right to exercise one of the following
options:

\(1\) Accept the Contractor\'s price increases as requested when all
conditions of (b), (c), (d), and (e) of this clause are satisfied;

\(2\) Negotiate more favorable prices when the total increase requested
is not supported; or,

\(3\) Decline the price increase when the request is not supported. The
Contractor may remove the item(s) from contract involved pursuant to the
Cancellation Clause of this contract.

\(g\) Effective Date of Increases: No price increase shall be effective
until the Government receives the electronic file updates pursuant to
GSAR 552.243-72, Modifications (Multiple Award Schedule).

\(h\) All MAS contracts remain subject to contract clauses GSAR
552.238‑75, "Price Reductions"; and 552.215-72, "Price Adjustment \--
Failure to Provide Accurate Information." In the event the application
of an economic price adjustment results in a price less favorable to the
Government than the price relationship established during negotiation
between the MAS price and the price to the designated customer, the
Government will maintain the price relationship to the designated
customer.

#### 552.238-75 PRICE REDUCTIONS (MAY 2004) (ALTERNATE I---MAY 2003) 538.273(b)(2)

\(a\) Before award of a contract, the Contracting Officer and the
Offeror will agree upon (1) the customer (or category of customers)
which will be the basis of award, and (2) the Government\'s price or
discount relationship to the identified customer (or category of
customers). This relationship shall be maintained throughout the
contract period. Any change in the Contractor\'s commercial pricing or
discount arrangement applicable to the identified customer (or category
of customers) which disturbs this relationship shall constitute a price
reduction.

\(b\) During the contract period, the Contractor shall report to the
Contracting Officer all price reductions to the customer (or category of
customers) that was the basis of award. The Contractor\'s report shall
include an explanation of the conditions under which the reductions were
made.

\(c\) (1) A price reduction shall apply to purchases under this contract
if, after the date negotiations conclude, the Contractor---

\(i\) Revises the commercial catalog, pricelist, schedule or other
document upon which contract award was predicated to reduce prices;

\(ii\) Grants more favorable discounts or terms and conditions than
those contained in the commercial catalog, pricelist, schedule or other
documents upon which contract award was predicated; or

\(iii\) Grants special discounts to the customer (or category of
customers) that formed the basis of award, and the change disturbs the
price/discount relationship of the Government to the customer (or
category of customers) that was the basis of award.

\(2\) The Contractor shall offer the price reduction to the eligible
ordering activities with the same effective date, and for the same time
period, as extended to the commercial customer (or category of
customers).

\(d\) There shall be no price reduction for sales---

\(1\) To commercial customers under firm, fixed-price definite quantity
contracts with specified delivery in excess of the maximum order
threshold specified in this contract;

\(2\) To eligible ordering activities under this contract;

\(3\) Made to State and local government entities when the order is
placed under this contract (and the State and local government entity is
the agreed upon customer or category of customer that is the basis of
award); or

\(4\) Caused by an error in quotation or billing, provided adequate
documentation is furnished by the Contractor to the Contracting Officer.

\(e\) The Contractor may offer the Contracting Officer a voluntary
Governmentwide price reduction at any time during the contract period.

\(f\) The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of any price
reduction subject to this clause as soon as possible, but not later than
15 calendar days after its effective date.

\(g\) The contract will be modified to reflect any price reduction which
becomes applicable in accordance with this clause.

#### 552.243-72 MODIFICATIONS (MULTIPLE AWARD SCHEDULE) (JUL 2000) 543.205(b)

\(a\) General. The Contractor may request a contract modification by
submitting a request to the Contracting Officer for approval, except as

\(3\) Price Reduction. The Contractor shall indicate whether the price
reduction falls under the item (i), (ii), or (iii) of paragraph (c)(1)
of the Price Reductions clause at 552.238‑75. If the Price reduction
