the term of this contract for a period of 12 months by written notice to the contractor not later than 30 days

Business Cards - Richland Page 3 of 12 

1976-S (12/2023) 

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 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 January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 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 

ending September 30, 2022 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. 

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 pre-award 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 

determination, the contractor in line for award may be required to provide one or more of the following 

financial documents: 

1) Most recent profit and loss statement

6) Letter of commitment from paper supplier(s)

the Government may result in the Contracting Officer not having adequate information to reach an 

affirmative determination of responsibility.
