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 contract shall be divided into up to five 

periods. The first period shall extend from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. Each additional period shall 

extend from July 1st of the subject year to June 30th of the following year. The first workday of the 

follow-on periods shall be the effective date of the price adjustment period. There shall be no price 

adjustment for orders placed during the initial contract year under this contract. 

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 - All Urban Consumers, for Commodities less Food 

(seasonally adjusted) as follows: An index shall be calculated by averaging the 12 seasonally 

adjusted months ending three months prior to the expiration of the first period 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. 

NOTIFICATION: The contractor will be notified not later than 30 days before the contract expires if the 

Government makes the decision to not exercise the option for a subsequent period. 

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. 

ORDERING: Items to be furnished under the contract shall be ordered by the issuance of print orders by 

the Government. Orders may be issued under the contract from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 plus 

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

the terms and conditions of the contract. The contract shall control in the event of conflict with any print 

order. A print order shall be "issued" for purposes of the contract, when it is either deposited in the U.S. 

Postal Service mail or otherwise furnished to the contractor in conformance with the schedule. 

REQUIREMENTS: This is a requirements contract for the items and for the period specified herein. 

Shipment/delivery of items or performance of work shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in 

accordance with the clause 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 
BLM & USGS Maps Page 4 of 17

Program 3842-S (6/20)

Government shall not be required to purchase from the contractor, any requirements in excess of the limit 

on total orders under this contract, if any. 

Orders issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that time shall be 

completed by the contractor within the time specified in the order, and the rights and obligations of the 

contractor and the Government respecting those orders shall be governed by the terms of this contract to 

the same extent as if completed during the effective period of this contract. 

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 providing for the accelerated shipment/delivery, the Government may procure this 

requirement from another source. 

The Government may issue orders that provide for shipment/delivery to or performance at multiple 

destinations. 

Subject to any limitations elsewhere in this contract, the contractor shall furnish to the Government all 

items set forth herein which are called for by print orders issued in accordance with the "ORDERING"

clause of this contract. 

METHOD OF SHIPMENT: The contractors shall ship by any reasonable method to insure prompt 

delivery at destinations. Shipments must be made direct to the destination stated in the specifications and 

must be delivered to that point on or before the ship/deliver date on the print order provided it is to a 

location(s) in Zones 1 through 5. 

SHIPPING CHARGES: Bidders are to quote a price for shipping to destinations within each of the five 

zones. The prices quoted, as applicable, will be applied to the weight of the ordered quantity. No 

adjustment in the amount of shipping charges will be allowed because of gratuitous over deliveries. 

However, when deliveries are subject to a special charge (i.e. "INSIDE DELIVERY" etc.) pursuant to 

regularly published tariffs duly filed with the Federal and/or State regulatory bodies governing the carrier, 

such separate charges shall be listed on the contractor's voucher/invoice and will be paid for at actual cost. 

PAYMENT BY ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER (EFT): Public Law 104-134 of April 26, 1996, 

requires that Federal agencies convert from making payment by check to paying by electronic funds 

transfer (EFT). Accordingly, the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) intends to issue payment by 

EFT under any contract or purchase order resulting from this solicitation 

To arrange for Electronic Funds Transfer payment, the contractor must complete a Standard Form 3881 

(ACH Vendor/Miscellaneous Payment Enrollment Form) and submit it to: U.S. Government Publishing 

Office, Procurement Accounting Division, Stop FMC, Washington, DC 20401. A copy of SF-3881 is 

available to be downloaded from the GPO Internet site at http://www.gpo.gov/ vendors/sfas.htm as an 

Adobe Acrobat PDF file. A new SF-3881 should be submitted for changes in company or financial 

institution information. Contractors already registered for EFT with the GPO need not reapply. 

The need for GPO Form 1034, "Public Voucher for Purchases" has been eliminated. You may use your 

own company’s invoice or while supplies last, at your option, you may continue to use GPO Form 1034. 

To expedite your payment, remember to include the following items on your invoice: Jacket/Term 

Contract Number, Print order number, Discount terms, Quantity shipped, and Total Cost. Continue to submit evidence of shipment and/or delivery with your voucher/invoice. 

Although not a requirement at this time, the contractor is encouraged to submit the "Bar Code Cover 

Sheet" with the request for payment. The use of this document will greatly facilitate prompt payment to 

the contractor. The following website address will allow you to create the GPO payment barcode cover 

page http://winapps.access.gpo.gov/fms/vouchers/barcode/. 

PAYMENT: The Government Publishing Office will utilize the following procedure. Billing 

certification sheets for the work performed will be sent by the contractor to the ordering agency for 

examination and certification as to correctness of the billing as applicable to the work performed. The 
BLM & USGS Maps Page 5 of 17

Program 3842-S (6/20)

ordering agency is required to return the signed billing certification to the contractor within five (5) 

workdays of receipt. 

After examination and certification by the ordering agency the invoice/voucher, print order, proof of 

delivery, and the agency signed billing certification must be submitted to: Comptroller, 

U.S. Government Publishing Office, North Capitol and H Streets, NW, Washington, D.C. 20401. In 

addition the contractor is instructed to fax a duplicate set of these documents to the Denver GPO 

office. The fax number is 303-236-5332 ATTN: Procurement Technician or emailed to 

InfoDenver@gpo.gov.

For the purpose of earning the discount when a prompt payment discount is offered by a bidder, time will 

be computed from the date a correct invoice/voucher, print order, proof of delivery, and the agency 

signed billing certification is received by the GPO. 

Exception to the Billing Certification Requirement: On all GPO Denver placed orders with print 

order series 05000, 25000, 45000, 65000, 85000 the billing certification requirement is WAIVED. 

SUBMISSION OF BIDS: Facsimile bids are permitted.

withdrawal of a bid that is transmitted to and received by the Government via electronic equipment that 

communicates and reproduces both printed and handwritten material. 

 (b) Bidders may submit facsimile bids as responses to this solicitation. These responses must arrive at 

the place and by the time specified in the solicitation.

SECTION 2. - SPECIFICATIONS

SCOPE: These specifications cover the production of 100K maps requiring such operations as electronic 

pre-press, proofing, printing, binding, packing, and distribution to multiple locations. 

TITLE: BLM 1:100,000-Scale Surface Management Map Series, USGS Maps, & Geospatial Information 

Office Maps. 

FREQUENCY OF ORDERS: Approximately 2 to 5 orders per year. 

QUANTITY: It is anticipated that orders will incorporate approximately 8 to 16 map titles per order and 

will range from 2,000 to 10,000 copies per map title with most orders for less than 5,000 copies. 

TRIM SIZES: Various trim sizes will be ordered as follows: 27 x 36" up to and including 27 x 44". The 

sheet size will be paid for at the page unit size as noted. 

GOVERNMENT TO FURNISH: One set electronic files, a sample copy of a previous printing or a 

visual, and a print order. 

 Electronic files will be provided for the contractor for direct plate imaging. Files will be provided as 

follows: 

Individual color separated ArcGis 10.1 (and/or associated upgrades) production mapping PDF files. 

Files will be provided on a DVD-R or at the Government's option the files will be made available by 

Electronic file Transfer Protocol (FTP). The Government FTP site and login process will be provided 

to the contractor when the contract is awarded. Five individual color separated files will be provided 

in CMYK and spot color Pantone 471 Brown. BLM will furnish a full color plot which is to be used 

for general color and registration purposes only. Do NOT use for an exact color match. A hard copy 

"Publications Standards Map Ownership Color Matrix" will be provided for exact color match. 

The contractor must be capable of accepting color separated negative postscript files for input or 

conversion to his/her system as part of their basic charge to the Government. The contractor will be 

responsible for proofreading converted formats to ensure that all fonts have transferred platforms 

completely. The ordering agency will provide paper copy to proof against. 

Fonts: All fonts are encoded into the provided color separated postscript files 

Data will be provided in individual color separated negative encapsulated postscript (eps) files with all 

necessary scans and graphics properly linked and in final position. Some files may be compressed using 

Zip or similar compression software. 

INSPECTION OF ELECTRONIC FILES: The contractor is to perform a basic check (preflight) of the 

furnished files within 24 hours of receipt of the furnished files. The check should look for missing or 

damaged files, missing or damaged fonts, damaged disks, missing bleeds, improper trim size, improper 

color definition, and so on. Any errors, media damage, or data corruption that might interfere with proper 

file imaging discovered at that time must be reported to the agency IMMEDIATELY upon discovery. 

CONTRACTOR TO FURNISH: All materials and operations, other than those listed under 

"GOVERNMENT TO FURNISH", necessary to produce the product(s) in accordance with these 

specifications. 

CONSULTATION: It is anticipated that prior to placing a print order or during the course of production 

of an order, the ordering department may consult with the contractor (over the telephone or face-to-face 

contact) regarding technical matters under the specifications involving electronic media. A majority of 

consultations will be limited to short telephone and/or person-to-person inquiries of a technical nature 

which will NOT require access to the contractor's electronic pre-press system (EPS). This level of 

consultation, which may occur frequently, shall be at no cost to the Government. 
BLM & USGS Maps Page 7 of 17

Program 3842-S (6/20)

Output resolution: Where electronic media is provided the contractor must generate images equivalent to 

2400 dpi for text and 150-line or higher screens for illustrations unless the ordering agency expressly 

provides permission otherwise. 

FILMS: Films are NOT required; computer to plate is acceptable and is the preferred method of 

production. At the contractor's option, they may use film; however; the Government will not pay for any 

film costs, even if these costs are the result of author's alterations.
