SECTION 1. - GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

GPO CONTRACT TERMS: Any contract which results from this Quotation Request will be subject to the 

applicable provisions, clauses, and supplemental specifications of GPO Contract Terms (GPO Pub. 310.2, 

effective December 1, 1987 (Rev. 6-01), available on the GPO website) and GPO Contract Terms, Quality 

Assurance Through Attributes Program (GPO Pub. 310.1, effective May 1979 (revised August 2002), available 

on the GPO website). 

DISPUTES CLAUSE: GPO Publication 310.2, GPO Contract Terms, Contract Clause 5. Disputes, is hereby 

replaced with the June 2008 clause found at www.gpo.gov/pdfs/vendors/contractdisputes.pdf. This clause cancels 

and supersedes any other disputes language currently included in existing contractual actions. 

QUALITY ASSURANCE LEVELS AND STANDARDS: The following levels and standards shall apply to 

these specifications: 

Product Quality Levels: 

(a) Printing Attributes -- Level III. 

(b) Finishing Attributes -- Level III. 

Inspection Levels (from ANSI/ASQC Z1.4): 

(a) Non-destructive Tests - General Inspection Level I. 

(b) Destructive Tests - Special Inspection Level S-2. 

 

Attribute Specified Standard *Alternate Standard 

P-7. Type Quality and Uniformity Approved Proofs File Setup 

P-9. Solid and Screen Tint Color Match Approved Proofs Pantone Matching System/Scantron Inks 

 

*In the event that the Specified Standard is waived the Alternate Standard will serve as its replacement. 

OPTION TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT TERM: 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 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 periodic pricing revision. 

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 September 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017, 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 
Optical Scan Forms Page 3 of 12 

1414-S (8/2017 – Opt. 8/2021) 

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 index 

“Commodities Less Food” under the Special Indexes category on “Table 2 –Consumer Price Index For All Urban 

Consumers (CPI-U): U.S. City Average, by expenditure category and commodity and service group” 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 3 months prior 

to the beginning of the contract, 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. 

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. 

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 preaward 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.
