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", 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 as follows: An index shall be calculated by averaging the 12 seasonally adjusted 

months ending 3 months prior to the expiration of the first program year 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.

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 supplemented by

quantity to be produced and any other information pertinent to the particular order.

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

Government. Orders may be issued under this contract from May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016, plus for such 

additional periods as the contract is extended. All print orders issued hereunder are subject to the terms and 

conditions of this contract. This contract shall control in the event of conflict with any print order. A print order 

shall be "issued" for purposes of this contract, when it is either deposited in the U.S. Postal Service mail or 

otherwise furnished to the contractor in conformance with the schedule.

PAYMENT: Submit all vouchers to: Comptroller, Stop FMCE, Financial Management Service, U.S. 

Government Publishing Office, Washington D.C., 20401. Using the GPO barcode cover sheet and

additional program period for which funds have been made available.

RECOVERED MATERIALS PROGRAM: The Government Publishing Office is promoting the use of recovered 

materials in its contracts to the maximum extent practicable, provided all specification requirements are met. 

Offerors are encouraged to supply paper and paper products that contain recovered materials even in the 

absence of a specific solicitation provision or contract clause requiring such materials. Recovered materials 

shall mean "recovered fiber" or "postconsumer recovered fiber" as defined in "Government Paper Specification 

Standards No. 12," published by the Joint Committee on Printing. However, when used in conjunction with the 

cotton/linen content of paper, "recovered fiber" means a postconsumer fiber and "recovered material" means a 

preconsumer fiber. By submission of a bid or offer, or by substantial performance on a small purchase, the 

offeror certifies that the paper to be supplied contains at least the minimum percentage of recovered materials 

in the paper products as specified. This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of 

the United States, and the making of a false, fictitious or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to 

prosecution under Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001. The Government reserves the right to require 

proof of such certification prior to first delivery and thereafter as may be otherwise provided for under the 

provisions of the contract. When the use of recovered materials is specified, the contractor shall maintain 

manufacturer/mill accounting and record summaries on the fiber weight content used as feed stock, for the 

purposes of Government audit, that will verify (a) the contractor's certification of the minimum percentage of 

recovered materials used in the performance of the contract, (b) that the paper and paper products are in 

compliance with the specification requirements, and (c) the paper is manufactured in accordance with the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Paper Products Recovered Materials Advisory Notice (61 FR 26985, 

May 29, 1996) whether the products are manufactured by the contractor or another paper mill. The contractor, 

if not the manufacturer, shall obtain this information from the paper manufacturer. The contractor shall 

maintain, and make available to the Government, these documents for one year after the expiration of the 

contract. Nothing in this clause shall excuse the contractor from furnishing the specified paper.
