Notwithstanding the above paragraph, at the request of the Government, the term of any contract resulting 

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

GPO and the contractor. 

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. There shall be no price adjustment for orders placed during the first program year of 

this contract. 

PRICE ADJUSTMENT: The prices shall be adjusted on the basis of the “Consumer Price Index for All 

Urban Consumers – Commodities Less Food, Seasonally Adjusted,” published monthly in the CPI Detailed 

Report by the 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 For All Urban Consumers-Commodities Less Food (seasonally adjusted) as 

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

to the expiration of the current period of this 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. 

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

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.

Government. Orders may be issued under the contract from Date of Award through August 31, 2016 (plus 

options). All print orders issued hereunder are subject to the terms and conditions of the contract. The
