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

OPTION TO EXTEND 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 this clause, except, the total duration of the contract may not exceed 5 years 

(October 31, 2028) as a result of, 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” clause for 

authorized pricing adjustment(s). 

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.
Bioassay Boxes Page 3 of 15

1576-S (10/24)

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 November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024, 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, 2023, 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.

NOTE: This contract does not have a Paper Price Adjustment clause.
