conference with contractor representative(s) may be held via telephone conference to discuss the 

requirements of the contract.

and employees into the offices and plants of the contractor for inspection of the facilities and operations 

provided for the performance of any work under this contract. On the basis of such inspection, the 

Contracting Officer may require specific measures in cases where the contractor is found to be 

noncompliant with contract safeguards.

OPTION TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT TERM (OPTION YEARS): 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

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

2503-S

For the purpose of this clause, performance under this contract will be divided into successive periods. The

“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 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 January 31, 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.

decrease to be applied to invoices for orders placed during the period indicated. The contractor shall apply

Coating on cover, see below. Follow the callouts on the laser prints. Prints head to head with heavy ink 

coverage.

All text pages print full bleed in 4-color process plus PMS 418 and PMS 7535. Apply a gloss aqueous

Aqueous Coating: Flood clear gloss aqueous coat all text pages, except page 38 which half of page spot 

coated.

UV Top Coating: Flood coat the entire surface of front side of the covers with a clear high gloss liquid 

coating that uses ultra violet (UV) light to harden the coating. Inside cover to be spot UV coated on the 

exposed area of the spine Note: contractor must ensure that glue will adhere. 

Binding: Follow the sample of the similar printing for the folding and binding of the cover. Photos available 

upon request.

This book is produced so that when the book is closed, the double wire binding or Wire-O binding. (WireO is a registered trademark of James Burn International) is concealed. The cover wraps around the Wire-O 

bound text and fold-in leaves. 

Gather all text pages and trim four sides.

Gather all text and drill suitably for Wire-O binding. Use an approximately 3/16” diameter metal element 

similar to sample. Double Wire-O with white plastic coating is required.

The right edge of the cover is drilled with rectangular holes for Wire-O binding. The cover leaf is then 

folded into the bind creating a double-thickness back cover. The two plys are then glued together along the 

bind edge with an approximately 1-1/2” wide glue strip (the entire back cover is not glued together). The 

drilled section is then placed on Wire-O rings (this is the only place the cover is attached to the rings). The 

front cover folds in short to approximately 11” and is not affixed to the Wire-O rings.

After assembly, the cover appears similar to a 4-page cover – 4 page front cover with 2 page double 

thickness on front and back cover. 

All folds must be scored prior to folding. Also required are vertical scores that are in the approximate center 

of the cover to ease the cover spine area around the Wire-O. Contractor must take care when doing the 

folding so that when the product is finished there is proper clearance between the binding and the foldedin portions of the front covers.
