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 to January 31, 2021, 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 October 31, 2019, 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.

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. As part of the financial determination, the contractor in line for award may be required to provide one or 

more of the following financial documents:

1) Most recent profit and loss statement

2) Most recent balance sheet

3) Statement of cash flows

4) Current official bank statement

5) Current lines of credit (with amounts available)

6) Letter of commitment from paper supplier(s)

7) Letter of commitment from any subcontractor

The documents will be reviewed to validate that adequate financial resources are available to perform the contract 

requirements. Documents submitted will be kept confidential, and used only for the determination of responsibility by the 

Government. Failure to provide the requested information in the time specified by the Government may result in the 

Contracting Officer not having adequate information to reach an affirmative determination of responsibility.

POST AWARD CONFERENCE: Unless waived by the Contracting Officer, the total requirements of the job as 

indicated in these specifications will be reviewed by the Government representatives with the contractor’s representatives 

at the U.S. Government Publishing Office, Denver Regional Office, immediately after award. At the option of the
