PREAWARD SURVEY: In order to determine the responsibility of the prime contractor 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

financial documents: 

1) Most recent profit and loss statement 

2) Most recent balance sheet 

3) Statement of cash flows

to reach an affirmative determination of responsibility.

1029-S 

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, 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, 

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. 

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

price adjustment clause.
