OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT: 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 (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” for authorized pricing adjustment(s). 

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

this solicitation may be extended for such period of time as may be mutually agreeable to the GPO and the contractor. 

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

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 August 31, 2018, 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

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.

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 May 31, 2017, 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.

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
