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 (5) 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”

EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TERM: At the request of the Government, the term of any contract resulting from this

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

2392-S 

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 February 28, 2017, 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

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 November 30, 2016, 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.

SECTION 3 - DETERMINATION OF AWARD 

The Government will determine the lowest bid by applying the prices offered 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 during the term of this

contract. 

The following item designations correspond to those listed in the “SCHEDULE OF PRICES”. 

Accelerated Schedule: An occasional order may require shipment in seven (7) workdays due to low inventory at a Government 

agency. A premium payment will be applied on orders that require the Accelerated Schedule. While no guarantees can be made 

for future orders, it is anticipated that approximately 5% of the orders will require the Accelerated Schedule per contract year. 

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

anticipated and the contractor will not list such items on his vouchers. 

Regular Schedule: Orders will require shipment within 14 calendar days. 

NOTE: An occasional order may require both the accelerated schedule and the regular schedule. THE CONTRACTOR WILL 

BE ALLOWED THE PREMIUM PAYMENT ONLY FOR THE QUANTITY DUE WITHIN 7 WORKDAYS. No additional 

make-ready charge will be allowed for the balance.
