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 on page 1. 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. 

LIMITATION OF PERFORMANCE AND CONTRACTOR OBLIGATIONS: Funds are available for performance 

of this contract for the first program period only. The amount of funds available at award is not considered 

sufficient for the performance required for any program period other than the first program period. When 

additional funds are available for the full requirements of the next succeeding program period, the Contracting 

Officer shall, not later than the date specified in the "Options" clause (unless a later date is agreed to), so notify 

the contractor in writing. 

The Government's obligation to the contractor, as specified and limited under this contract, extends only to work 

under program period requirements for which funds have been made available and as obligated by each print 

order. 

The contractor is not obligated to incur costs for the performance required for any program period after the first 

unless written notification is received from the Contracting Officer of an increase in availability of funds. If so 

notified, the contractor's obligation shall increase only to the extent contract performance is required for the 

additional program period for which funds have been made available. 

If this contract is terminated under the "Termination for the Convenience of the Government" clause "total contract 

price" in that clause means the amount available for performance of this contract, as provided for in this clause. 

The term "work in process" in that clause means the work under program period requirements for which funds 

have been made available. If the contract is terminated for default, the Government's rights under this contract 

shall apply to the entire multiperiod requirements. 

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

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. 
1057-S 5-yr. 5 of 14

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
