OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT: The Government has the option to extend the

extension(s) added under this clause. Further extension may be negotiated under the “EXTENSION OF 

CONTRACT TERM” clause. See also “ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT” for authorized pricing

from this solicitation may be extended for such period of time as may be mutually agreeable to the GPO and the 

contractor.
No. 10 Envelopes Page 3 of 19

313-M (6/24)

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT: The pricing under this contract shall be adjusted in accordance with this 

clause, provided that in no event will any pricing adjustment be made that would exceed the maximum permissible 

under any law in effect at the time of the adjustment. There will be no adjustment for orders placed during the first 

period specified below. Pricing will thereafter be eligible for adjustment during the second and any succeeding 

performance period(s). For each performance period after the first, a percentage figure will be calculated as 

described below and that figure will be the economic price adjustment for that entire next period. Pricing 

adjustments under this clause are not applicable to reimbursable postage or transportation costs, or to paper, if paper 

prices are subject to adjustment by separate clause elsewhere in this contract.

For the purpose of this clause, performance under this contract will be divided into successive periods. The first 

period will extend from Date of Award to June 30, 2024, and the second and any succeeding period(s) will extend 

for 12 months from the end of the last preceding period, except that the length of the final period may vary. The 

first day of the second and any succeeding period(s) will be the effective date of the economic price adjustment for 

that period.

Pricing adjustments in accordance with this clause will be based on changes in the seasonally adjusted “Consumer 

Price Index For All Urban Consumers – Commodities less Food” (Index) published monthly in the CPI Detailed 

Report by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The economic price adjustment will be the percentage difference between Index averages as specified in this 

paragraph. An index called the variable index will be calculated by averaging the monthly Indexes from the 12-

month interval ending three (3) months prior to the beginning of the period being considered for adjustment. This 

average is then compared to the average of the monthly Indexes for the 12-month interval ending March 31, 2023, 

called the base index. The percentage change (plus or minus) of the variable index from the base index will be the 

economic price adjustment for the period being considered for adjustment.

The Government will notify the contractor by contract modification specifying the percentage increase or decrease 

to be applied to invoices for orders placed during the period indicated. The contractor shall apply the percentage 

increase or decrease against the total price of the invoice less reimbursable postage or transportation costs and 

separately adjusted paper prices. Payment discounts shall be applied after the invoice price is adjusted.

PAPER PRICE ADJUSTMENT: Paper prices charged under this contract will be adjusted in accordance with 

“Table 9 - Producer Price Indexes and Percent Changes for Commodity Groupings and Individual Items” in 

Producer Price Indexes report, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), as follows: 

(1) BLS code 0913-01 for Offset & Text will apply to all paper required under this contract.

(2) The applicable index figures for the month of June 2023 will establish the base index.

(3) There shall be no price adjustment for the first three production months of the contract.

(4) Price adjustments may be monthly thereafter, but only if the index varies by an amount (plus or minus) 

exceeding 5% by comparing the base index to the index for that month which is two months prior to the 

month being considered for adjustment.

(5) Beginning with order placement in the fourth month, index variances will be calculated in accordance with 

the following formula:

X - base index

______________ x 100 = _______%

base index 

where X = the index for that month which is two months prior to the month being considered for adjustment.
No. 10 Envelopes Page 4 of 19

313-M (6/24)

(6) The contract adjustment amount, if any, will be the percentage calculated in 5 above less 5%.

(7) Adjustments under this clause will be applied to the contractor’s bid price(s) for Item IV. “PAPER” in the 

“SCHEDULE OF PRICES” and will be effective on the first day of any month for which prices are to be

adjusted.

The Contracting Officer will give written notice to the contractor of any adjustments to be applied to invoices for 

orders placed during months affected by this clause.

In no event, however, will any price adjustment be made which would exceed the maximum permissible under any 

law in effect at the time of the adjustment. The adjustment, if any, shall not be based upon the actual change in cost 

to the contractor, but shall be computed as provided above.

The contractor warrants that the paper prices set forth in this contract do not include any allowance for any 

contingency to cover anticipated increased costs of paper to the extent such increases are covered by this price 

adjustment clause.

PREAWARD SURVEY: In order to determine the responsibility of the prime contractors or any subcontractor, 

the Government reserves the right to conduct an on-site preaward survey at the contractor’s/subcontractor’s facility 

or to require other evidence of technical, production, managerial, financial, and similar abilities to perform, prior to 

the award of a contract. As part of the financial determination, the contractors in line for award may be required to 

provide one or more of the following financial documents:

1) Most recent profit and loss statement 

2) Most recent balance sheet 

3) Statement of cash flows 

4) Current official bank statement

5) Current lines of credit (with amounts available) 

6) Letter of commitment from paper supplier(s) 

7) Letter of commitment from any subcontractor

The documents will be reviewed to validate that adequate financial resources are available to perform the contract 

requirements. Documents submitted will be kept confidential, and used only for the determination of responsibility 

by the Government. Failure to provide the requested information in the time specified by the Government may 

result in the Contracting Officer not having adequate information to reach an affirmative determination of 

responsibility.

PREAWARD TEST: The contractors being considered for award may be required to demonstrate their ability to 

produce the items required in these specifications at the requisite quality level by completing a preaward test. The 

Government reserves the right to waive the preaward test if there is other evidence that, in the opinion of the 

Contracting Officer, indicates that the contractor being considered for award have the capability to successfully 

produce the items required.

For the preaward test, the Government will furnish (via email) a PDF file that is representative of the files to be 

furnished under these specifications. The PDF file will contain the return addresses to be printed on the envelope 

and the agency seal. Sample will be furnished (via email) for typesetting.

All samples must be typeset (as applicable), printed (including security tint) and constructed in accordance with the 

requirements specified herein. Samples must be printed/constructed on the required paper as specified under 

“STOCK/PAPER.” 

Preaward test samples will be inspected and tested for conformance of materials and must comply with the 

specifications stated herein as to construction, kind, and quality of materials. Test samples will be tested for usage 

on the specified equipment (see “NOTE” below) and/or for construction. 
No. 10 Envelopes Page 5 of 19

313-M (6/24)

NOTE: Each sample envelope MUST be compatible for use with the equipment specified in Attachment 1.

Contractors must submit the preaward test samples within five (5) workdays of receipt of test materials.

If the preaward test samples are disapproved by the Government, the Government, at its option, may require the 

contractors to submit revised samples for evaluation. The contractors shall submit these revised samples within 

five (5) workdays upon notification of the required changes. 

In the event the revised test samples are disapproved by the Government, the contractors shall be deemed to have 

failed to comply with the applicable requirements of these specifications and may be reason for a determination of 

non-responsibility.

Failure to deliver the preaward test samples within the stated time period may disqualify the contractors from further 

consideration for award. 

No charges will be allowed for costs incurred for this preaward test.

SECTION 3. – DETERMINATION OF AWARD AND PLACEMENT OF WORK

The Government will make multiple awards under this solicitation since it is anticipated that one firm may not be 

able to meet all of the requirements.

In order to make multiple awards and to determine the sequence of bidders, the Government will apply the prices 

offered by each bidder in the “SCHEDULE OF PRICES” to the following units of production which are the 

estimated requirements to produce one (1) year’s production under this contract. These units do not constitute, nor 

are they to be construed as a guarantee of the volume of work which may be ordered for a like period of time.

In placing work, the Government will first communicate with the low contractor to determine whether or not at that 

time the order for the specified quantity can be accepted for shipment within the time required by the Government. 

The Government will be obligated to place each order with the low contractor first, the next low contractor second, 

and so on until the order has been accepted. Placement of orders shall be made only with those contractors whose 

prices are determined to be fair and reasonable. The low contractor and each successive next low contractor shall 

be obligated to accept the order except when the shipping schedule cannot be met. When the contractor accepts, a 

formal print order will be issued.

Due to the urgency of the work, orders will be offered by telephone, and the contractor must reply within 30 minutes 

whether or not the order can be accepted. Contractor must provide evidence of acceptance using a response email 

to email address provided after certification.

Any contractor’s position in the sequence of awards may be jeopardized by consistently refusing work. When such 

an instance is found, the contractor involved will be notified and unless prompt adjustment in order acceptance is 

made to maintain the lowest cost to the Government, the contractor may be disqualified from further participation 

under this contract.

Notwithstanding any sequence of contractors established as a result of the Determination of Award, the Government 

reserves the right, without limitation, to establish a specific sequence of contractors for any or all print orders to be 

issued under this contract, by abstracting the contract prices of each contractor against actual print orders to be 

issued and adding any applicable costs to the Government for transportation of the finished product to all 

destinations. In the event a specific sequence is established, such sequence of contractors shall control the order in 

which the print order(s) is offered. The determination to establish a specific sequence or sequences shall not be 

cause for an adjustment in the contract price or any other term or condition of the contract.

Exception: Noncompliance with the shipping and/or delivery schedule, or any other term, condition, or 

specification of this contract will be cause, and the GPO reserves the right, to withhold further orders until the 

contractor is judged by the Government to have established adequate procedures to fulfill the requirements.

PREMIUM PAYMENTS: Orders requiring the “Accelerated Schedule” will be paid for at the premium rate in

accordance with the contractor’s offered percentage in the “SCHEDULE OF PRICES.” All other orders will be 

placed with the “Regular Schedule” and paid for at the basic prices offered.

Percentages offered for premium priced work are additional to the basic prices offered for units of work. Premium 

payments, when authorized, will apply to all items except Item IV., “PAPER” in the “SCHEDULE OF PRICES.”

Failure of the contractor to deliver work at the time specified will result in disallowance of premium payments that 

were anticipated and the contractor will not list such items on his billing invoice.

It is estimated that 10% of the orders placed on this contract will require an accelerated schedule. Premium 

payments for an accelerated schedule will be evaluated for award. Evaluation will be effected by applying the 

percentage increase, offered for the accelerated schedule in the “SCHEDULE OF PRICES,” (Item V.), to 10% of 

all items except Item IV., “PAPER.”
