REGULATIONS GOVERNING PROCUREMENT

Government. Accordingly, the Federal Acquisition Regulation is inapplicable to this, and all GPO 

procurements. However, the text of certain provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation as contained in the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) are referenced in this solicitation. The bidder should note that only those 

provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation which are specifically incorporated by reference into this 

solicitation, are applicable.

these specifications:

 (b) Finishing (item related) Attributes -- Level III.

Specified Standards: The specified standards for the attributes requiring them shall be:

 P-7. Type Quality and Uniformity Furnished Material/Approved Proofs 

 P-8. Solid/Screen Tint Color Match Pantone Matching System 

OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF CONTRACT: 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

and including, any extension(s) added under this clause. Further extension may be negotiated under the 

“EXTENSION OF TERM OF CONTRACT” clause. See also “ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT” for

EXTENSION OF TERM OF CONTRACT: 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. 
Recruiter Business Cards Page 3 of 13 

5578-S (10/17) 

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 October 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 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 July 31, 

2016 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. 

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. 

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 may 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. 

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

Government. Orders may be issued under the contract Date of Award through October 31, 2017 (plus 

options). All print orders issued hereunder are subject to the terms and conditions of the contract. The contract
