SUBCONTRACTING: The predominant production function is binding. Subcontracting will not be permitted. 

OPTION TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT TERM: The Government has the option to extend the term of this contract for 

a period of 12 months by written notice to the contractor not later than 30 days before the contract expires. If the 

Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this clause, except, the total 

duration of the contract may not exceed five years as a result of, and including, any extension(s) added under this 

clause. Further extension may be negotiated under the “Extension of Contract Term” clause. See also “Economic 

Price Adjustment” for periodic pricing revision. 

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 prices be revised to exceed the maximum permissible under any 

law existing as of the date of the contract or as may be hereafter promulgated. 

Price adjustment period: For the purpose of this clause, the program years shall comply with the Contract Term clause 

on page 1. There shall be no price adjustment for orders placed during the first program year of this contract. 
Library Binding Page 3 of 13 

1058-S; 5 yrs.

Price adjustment: The prices shall be adjusted on the basis of the "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, in the following manner: 

(1) The contract price of orders placed during the adjusted period (excluding reimbursable postage or transportation 

costs) shall be adjusted by the percentage increase or decrease in the average, seasonally adjusted Consumer 

Price Index as follows: An index shall be calculated by averaging the 12 seasonally adjusted months ending 3 

months prior to the expiration of the first program year of the contract. This average is then compared with the 

average index for the 12-month period ending 3 months prior to the beginning of the contract, called the base 

index. The percentage increase or decrease by comparing these two indexes shall be applied to the contractor's 

invoices for orders placed during the price adjustment period. 

 (2) The Government will notify the contractor in writing of the percentage increase or decrease to be applied

to any invoices to be submitted for orders subject to price adjustment in accordance with this clause. Such 

percentage will be determined from the published index as set forth above. The contractor shall apply the 

percentage increase or decrease against the total price of the invoice less reimbursable postage or 

transportation costs. Any applicable discounts will be calculated on the basis of the invoice price as adjusted. 

If the Government exercises an option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this economic price 

adjustment clause. 

LIMITATION OF PERFORMANCE AND CONTRACTOR OBLIGATIONS: Funds are available for performance of this 

contract for the first program period only. The amount of funds available at award is not considered sufficient for the 

performance required for any program period other than the first program period. When additional funds are available 

for the full requirements of the next succeeding program period, the Contracting Officer shall, not later than the date 

specified in the "Options" clause (unless a later date is agreed to), so notify the contractor in writing. 

The Government's obligation to the contractor, as specified and limited under this contract, extends only to work under 

program period requirements for which funds have been made available and as obligated by each print order. 

The contractor is not obligated to incur costs for the performance required for any program period after the first unless 

written notification is received from the Contracting Officer of an increase in availability of funds. If so notified, the 

contractor's obligation shall increase only to the extent contract performance is required for the additional program 

period for which funds have been made available. 

If this contract is terminated under the "Termination for the Convenience of the Government" clause "total contract 

price" in that clause means the amount available for performance of this contract, as provided for in this clause. The 

term "work in process" in that clause means the work under program period requirements for which funds have been 

made available. If the contract is terminated for default, the Government's rights under this contract shall apply to the 

entire multiperiod requirements. 

FACSIMILE BIDS: The solicitation provision in GPO Contract Terms (Pub. 310.2) permitting facsimile bids means a 

bid that has been transmitted to and has been received by a commercial enterprise via facsimile and subsequently 

delivered to the Government. Facsimile bids transmitted to GPO offices will not be considered. 

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

Government reserves the right to conduct a pre-award survey or to require other evidence of technical, production, 

managerial, financial, and similar abilities to perform, prior to the award of a contract. 

ASSIGNMENT OF JACKETS, PURCHASE AND PRINT ORDERS: A GPO jacket number will be assigned and a 

purchase order issued to the contractor to cover work performed. The purchase order will be supplemented by an 

individual "Print Order" for each job placed with the contractor. The print order, when issued, will indicate the quantity 

to be produced and any other information pertinent to the particular order. 
Library Binding Page 4 of 13 

1058-S; 5 yrs.

Government. Orders may be issued under the contract from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 plus for such 

additional period(s) as the contract is extended. All print orders issued hereunder are subject to the terms and

"issued" for purposes of the contract, when it is either deposited in the U.S. Postal Service mail or otherwise furnished

entitled "Ordering". The quantities of items specified herein are estimates 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

If shipment/delivery of any quantity of an item covered by the contract is required by reason of urgency prior to the 

earliest date that shipment/ delivery may be specified under this contract, and if the contractor will not accept an order

RECOVERED MATERIALS PROGRAM: The Government Printing Office is promoting the use of recovered materials 

in its contracts to the maximum extent practicable, provided all specification requirements are met. Offerors are 

encouraged to supply paper and paper products that contain recovered materials even in the absence of a specific 

solicitation provision or contract clause requiring such materials. 

Recovered materials shall mean "recovered fiber" or "postconsumer recovered fiber" as defined in "Government Paper 

Specification Standards No. 12," published by the Joint Committee on Printing. However, when used in conjunction 

with the cotton/linen content of paper, "recovered fiber" means a postconsumer fiber and "recovered material" means a 

preconsumer fiber. 

By submission of a bid or offer, or by substantial performance on a small purchase, the offeror certifies that the paper 

to be supplied contains at least the minimum percentage of recovered materials in the paper products as specified. 

This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States, and the making of a false, 

fictitious or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to prosecution under Title 18, United States Code, 

Section 1001. The Government reserves the right to require proof of such certification prior to first delivery and 

thereafter as may be otherwise provided for under the provisions of the contract. 
Library Binding Page 5 of 13 

1058-S; 5 yrs.

When the use of recovered materials is specified, the contractor shall maintain manufacturer/mill accounting and 

record summaries on the fiber weight content used as feed stock, for the purposes of Government audit, that will verify 

(a) the contractor's certification of the minimum percentage of recovered materials used in the performance of the 

contract, (b) that the paper and paper products are in compliance with the specification requirements, and (c) the paper 

is manufactured in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Paper Products Recovered Materials 

Advisory Notice (61 FR 26985, May 29, 1996) whether the products are manufactured by the contractor or another 

paper mill. The contractor, if not the manufacturer, shall obtain this information from the paper manufacturer. The 

contractor shall maintain, and make available to the Government, these documents for one year after the expiration of 

the contract. Nothing in this clause shall excuse the contractor from furnishing the specified paper.
