REQUIREMENTS: This is a requirements contract for the items and for the period specified herein. 

Delivery of items or performance of work shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in

only, and are not purchased hereby. Except as may be otherwise provided in this contract, if the 

Government's requirements for the items set forth herein do not result in orders in the amounts or 

quantities described as "estimated", it shall not constitute the basis for an equitable price adjustment 

under this contract.

Except as otherwise provided in this contract, the Government shall order from the contractor all the 

items set forth which are required to be purchased by the Government activity identified on page 1.

The Government shall not be required to purchase from the contractor, requirements in excess of the 

limit on total orders under this contract, if any.

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT: The prices set forth in this contract shall be adjusted in 

accordance with the provisions of 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 below. Pricing will thereafter be 

eligible for adjustment during the second and any succeeding 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 herein.

For the purpose of this clause, the contract shall be divided into successive periods. The first period 

shall extend from June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021. 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.

Price adjustments in accordance with this clause will be based on the changes in the seasonally adjusted 

"Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers - Commodities Less Food” 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 the 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 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 February 29, 2020, 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.

NOTIFICATION: The contractor will be notified a minimum of 30 days before the end of the current 

contract annual period of availability or non-availability of funds for subsequent periods. Cancellation is 

effected if (i) the Contracting Officer notifies the contractor that funds are not available for the next year, 

or (ii) the Contracting Officer fails to notify the contractor that funds are available for the next year.

Category 2: From 50 to 10,000 labels/decals per order.

TRIM SIZES: Various trim sizes will be ordered and paid for in their respective "Format" classification 

as follows:

• Format "A": Any size label up to and including 2 x 3", or a maximum of 6 sq. inches.

• Format "B": Any size label over 2 x 3" up to and including 5 x 7", or a maximum of 35 sq. inches.

GOVERNMENT TO FURNISH: 

The Government will most typically electronically transmit digital assets, including Macintosh-generated 

or Windows-generated Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) files, MS Word, MS Publisher, 

Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and/or Photoshop files.

Occasionally the Government will also furnish repro copy, reprint samples, manuscript copy and/or 

650/700 MB CD-R (W) disc(s) requiring physical retrieval from customer’s facility.

Facsimile for shipping container labels.

CONTRACTOR TO FURNISH: All materials and operations, other than those listed under 

"Government to Furnish" herein, necessary to produce the product(s) in accordance with these 

specifications.

Contractor shall provide any missing TrueType and/or OpenType fonts not included or embedded within 

the furnished digital copy. Contractor shall obtain the newest available version of the software programs 

cited under ‘Government to Furnish,’ as each software upgrade is made available for purchase by the 

public.

Digital prepress, deliverables:

Prior to image processing, the contractor shall perform a basic check (preflight) of the furnished media 

and publishing files to assure correct output of the required reproduction image. Any errors, media 

damage, or data corruption that might interfere with proper file image processing must be reported to the 

GPO.

The contractor shall create or alter any necessary trapping, set proper screen angles and screen frequency, 

and define file output selection for the imaging device being utilized. Furnished files must be imaged as 

necessary to meet the assigned quality level.

When required by the Government, the contractor shall make minor revisions to the electronic files. It is 

anticipated that the Government will make all major revisions.

Prior to making revisions, the contractor shall copy the furnished files and make all changes to the copy.

Upon completion of each order, the contractor must furnish final production native application files 

(digital deliverables) with the furnished material. The digital deliverables must be an exact 

representation of the final printed product and shall be returned on the same type of storage media as was 

originally furnished. The Government will not accept, as digital deliverables, PostScript files, Adobe 

Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) files, or any proprietary file formats other than those 

supplied, unless specified by the Government.

COMPOSITION: Composition requirements will consist of setting type and rules in various formats 

and sizes. 
Labels and Decals, Category 1 and 2 Page 8 of 30

1977-S R-1 6/2020

Various serif and sans serif typefaces and sizes up to 2" high will be required. The successful vendor

must provide the ordering agency with specimens or a complete listing of typefaces and sizes that are 

available for use under this contract.

REPRODUCIBLES: The contractor must make all films/reproducibles required.

Output of furnished digital copy: Based upon past performance, it is estimated that as many as 90% of 

the contract orders will include Governmental submittal of digital copy for reproduction. Unless 

otherwise specified, the contractor is not obligated to produce an order by RIPing (i.e. rasterizing) the 

furnished digital copy directly to a xerographic copying machine. The contractor may—at the 

contractor’s option—digitally output a single first-generation copy on paper at a min. of 600 dpi before 

placing it “on the glass” to produce the requisite number of second generation copies for final delivery.

Unless otherwise specified, the output copy shall match any furnished dummy hardcopy. In the absence 

of furnished dummy hardcopy, the final printed product shall match the “on screen” appearance of the 

furnished digital copy.

The contractor will be responsible for converting any furnished RGB elements to CMYK and providing 

any bleed margins, if omitted by the ordering agency, at no additional cost to the Government.

Creating printing media: The Government will provide orders with furnished close-registration 

multicolor reprint samples with abutting colors, but without any accompanying mechanical or digital 

separations.

When such reprint samples are furnished without accompanying mechanical-digital separations, the 

contractor will be required to create and composite (with registration and traps) a digital printer separate 

for each product color. The contractor shall archive and return the registered and composited printer 

separates in the form of an Adobe Acrobat PDF file archived on a CD-R disc labeled with the title of the 

applicable label(s). The contractor shall be reimbursed for the creation of the new printing media in 

accordance with the contract ‘Schedule of Prices.’

New digital printing media created by the contractor will become property of the Government and must 

be returned with the final printed product, or to the address otherwise noted on the Print Order.

PROOFS: Based upon past performance, approx. 70% of the Category 1 and 50% of the Category 2

orders will most typically require electronic submittal of an Adobe Acrobat PDF “soft proof.’ 

Occasionally the customer will require physical submittal of a conventional hardcopy page proof.

SECTION 3. - DETERMINATION OF AWARD

Procurement under this solicitation will be divided into two categories as follows:

Category 1: Offset, letterpress or flexographic process.

Category 2: Screen process.

The Government will make an award in each category since it is anticipated that one firm may not be 

able to meet all of the requirements. The lowest Quote will be determined by applying the prices quoted 

in the "SCHEDULE OF PRICES" herein to the following units of production which are the estimated 

requirements for 1 year 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 under this contract.

Accelerated delivery: The percentage uprate submitted by the contractor under Item IX shall first be 

applied to 5% of the subtotal of costs obtained from the sum of Items I thru VIII. The product of this 

application shall then be added to the subtotal of costs obtained from the sum of Items I thru VIII to 

determine the each vendor's total contract bid price.

The following item designations correspond to those listed in the "SCHEDULE OF PRICES" herein:
