except, the total duration of the contract may not exceed five (5) 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

U. S. Army War College Publications 

3203-S (07/18) Page 3 of 18 

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 Date of Award through July 31, 2018, 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 March 31, 2017, 

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. 

If the Government exercises an option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this economic price 

adjustment clause. 

SECURITY WARNING: It is the contractor’s responsibility to properly safeguard personally identifiable 

information (PII) from loss, theft, or inadvertent disclosure and to immediately notify the Government of any loss 

of personally identifiable information. PII is “information which can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s 

identity, such as their name, social security number, biometric records, etc., alone, or when combined with other 

personal or identifying information which is linked or linkable to a specific individual, such as date and place of 

birth, mother’s maiden name, etc.” (Ref.: OMB Memorandum 07-16.) Other specific examples of PII include, but 

are not limited to: 

(a) Personal identification number, such as passport number, driver’s license number, taxpayer 

identification number, or financial account or credit card number; 

(b) Address information, such as street address or personal email address; and, 

(c) Personal characteristics, including photographic image (especially of face or other distinguishing 

characteristic), fingerprints, handwriting, or other biometric image or template data (e.g., retina scans, 

voice signature, facial geometry).
