the extended contract will include all provisions herein. The total duration of this contract, including the exercise 

of any options, will not exceed five years. 

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT: The prices set forth in this contract shall be adjusted in accordance with the 

provisions of this clause, provided that in no event will prices be revised to exceed the maximum permissible 

under any law existing as of the date of the contract or as may be hereafter promulgated. Price adjustment 

period: For the purpose of this clause, the program years shall comply with the Contract Term clause on page 1.

Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the following manner: 
Short-Run Copying on a Fast Schedule Page 3 of 14 

3004-S; 5-yr. 

 (1) The contract price of orders placed during the adjusted period (excluding reimbursable postage or 

transportation costs) shall be adjusted by the percentage increase or decrease in the average, seasonally 

adjusted Consumer Price Index as follows: An index shall be calculated by averaging the 12 seasonally 

adjusted months ending 3 months prior to the expiration of the first program year of the contract. This 

average is then compared with the average index for the 12-month period ending 3 months prior to the 

beginning of the contract, called the base index. The percentage increase or decrease by comparing these 

two indexes shall be applied to the contractor's invoices for orders placed during the price adjustment 

period. 

 (2) The Government will notify the contractor in writing of the percentage increase or decrease to be 

applied to any invoices to be submitted for orders subject to price adjustment in accordance with this 

clause. Such percentage will be determined from the published index as set forth above. The contractor 

shall apply the percentage increase or decrease against the total price of the invoice less reimbursable 

postage or transportation costs. Any applicable discounts will be calculated on the basis of the invoice price 

as adjusted. 

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

adjustment clause. 

LIMITATION OF PERFORMANCE AND CONTRACTOR OBLIGATIONS: Funds are available for performance 

of this contract for the first program period only. The amount of funds available at award is not considered 

sufficient for the performance required for any program period other than the first program period. When 

additional funds are available for the full requirements of the next succeeding program period, the Contracting 

Officer shall, not later than the date specified in the "Options" clause (unless a later date is agreed to), so notify 

the contractor in writing. 

The Government's obligation to the contractor, as specified and limited under this contract, extends only to work 

under program period requirements for which funds have been made available and as obligated by each print 

order. 

The contractor is not obligated to incur costs for the performance required for any program period after the first 

unless written notification is received from the Contracting Officer of an increase in availability of funds. If so 

notified, the contractor's obligation shall increase only to the extent contract performance is required for the 

additional program period for which funds have been made available. 

If this contract is terminated under the "Termination for the Convenience of the Government" clause "total contract 

price" in that clause means the amount available for performance of this contract, as provided for in this clause. 

The term "work in process" in that clause means the work under program period requirements for which funds 

have been made available. If the contract is terminated for default, the Government's rights under this contract 

shall apply to the entire multiperiod requirements. 

FACSIMILE BIDS: The solicitation provision in GPO Contract Terms (Pub. 310.2) permitting facsimile bids 

means a bid that has been transmitted to and has been received by a commercial enterprise via facsimile and 

subsequently delivered to the Government. Facsimile bids transmitted to GPO offices will not be 

considered. 

PREAWARD SURVEY: In order to determine the responsibility of the prime contractor or any subcontractor, the 

Government reserves the right to conduct a pre-award survey 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 will be supplemented by 

an individual "Print Order" for each job placed with the contractor. The print order, when issued, will indicate the

REQUIREMENTS: This is a requirements contract for the items and for the period specified herein. 

Shipment/delivery of items or performance of work shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in 

accordance with the clause entitled "Ordering". The quantities of items specified herein are estimates only, and 

are not purchased hereby. Except as may be otherwise provided in this contract, if the Government's

"estimated", it shall not constitute the basis for an equitable price adjustment under this contract. 

Except as otherwise provided in this contract, the Government shall order from the contractor all the items set 

forth which are required to be purchased by the Government activity identified on page 1. The Government shall 

not be required to purchase from the contractor, requirements in excess of the limit on total orders under this

same extent as if completed during the effective period of this contract. 

If shipment/delivery of any quantity of an item covered by the contract is required by reason of urgency prior to the 

earliest date that shipment/delivery may be specified under this contract, and if the contractor will not accept an 

order providing for the accelerated shipment/delivery, the Government may procure this requirement from another

destinations. Subject to any limitations elsewhere in this contract, the contractor shall furnish to the Government 

all items set forth herein which are called for by print orders issued in accordance with the "Ordering" clause of 

this contract. 

RECOVERED MATERIALS PROGRAM: The Government Printing Office is promoting the use of recovered 

materials in its contracts to the maximum extent practicable, provided all specification requirements are met. 

Offerors are encouraged to supply paper and paper products that contain recovered materials even in the 

absence of a specific solicitation provision or contract clause requiring such materials. Recovered materials shall 

mean "recovered fiber" or "postconsumer recovered fiber" as defined in "Government Paper Specification 

Standards No. 12," published by the Joint Committee on Printing. However, when used in conjunction with the 

cotton/linen content of paper, "recovered fiber" means a postconsumer fiber and "recovered material" means a 

preconsumer fiber. 
Short-Run Copying on a Fast Schedule Page 5 of 14 

3004-S; 5-yr. 

By submission of a bid or offer, or by substantial performance on a small purchase, the offeror certifies that the 

paper to be supplied contains at least the minimum percentage of recovered materials in the paper products as 

specified. This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States, and the 

making of a false, fictitious or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to prosecution under Title 18, 

United States Code, Section 1001. The Government reserves the right to require proof of such certification prior 

to first delivery and thereafter as may be otherwise provided for under the provisions of the contract. 

When the use of recovered materials is specified, the contractor shall maintain manufacturer/mill accounting and 

record summaries on the fiber weight content used as feed stock, for the purposes of Government audit, that will 

verify (a) the contractor's certification of the minimum percentage of recovered materials used in the performance 

of the contract, (b) that the paper and paper products are in compliance with the specification requirements, and 

(c) the paper is manufactured in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Paper Products 

Recovered Materials Advisory Notice (61 FR 26985, May 29, 1996) whether the products are manufactured by 

the contractor or another paper mill. The contractor, if not the manufacturer, shall obtain this information from the 

paper manufacturer. The contractor shall maintain, and make available to the Government, these documents for 

one year after the expiration of the contract. Nothing in this clause shall excuse the contractor from furnishing the 

specified paper.
