OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE 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 five (5) years as a result of, and including, any 

extensions added under this clause. Further extension may be negotiated under the “EXTENSION OF CONTRACT 

TERM” clause. See also “ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT” for authorized pricing adjustments.

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). 
Serialized and Non-Serialized Alien File Jackets Page 3 of 21

705-S R-1 (6/24)

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 June 30, 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 

March 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: Economic price adjustments are not cumulative and are to be applied to original bid prices only.

PAPER PRICE ADJUSTMENT: Paper prices charged under this contract will be adjusted in accordance with 

“Table 9 - Producer Price Indexes and Percent Changes for Commodity Groupings and Individual Items” in 

Producer Price Indexes report, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), as follows:

1. BLS code 0913 for All Paper will apply to all paper required under this contract.

2. The applicable index figures for the month of June 2023 will establish the base index.

3. There shall be no price adjustment for the first three (3) production months of the contract.

4. Price adjustments may be monthly thereafter, but only if the index varies by an amount (plus or minus) 

exceeding 5% by comparing the base index to the index for that month which is two months prior to the 

month is being considered for adjustment.

5. Beginning with order placement in the fourth month, index variances will be calculated in accordance with 

the following formula:

X – base index __________________________ x 100 = ____________ %

base index

where X = the index for that month which is two months prior to the month being considered for adjustment.

6. The contract adjustment amount, if any, will be the percentage calculated in 5 above less 5%.
Serialized and Non-Serialized Alien File Jackets Page 4 of 21

705-S R-1 (6/24)

7. Adjustments under this clause will be applied to the contractor’s bid price(s) for Item II. “PAPER” in the 

“SCHEDULE OF PRICES” and will be effective on the first day of any month for which prices are to be 

adjusted.

The Contracting Officer will give written notice to the contractor of any adjustments to be applied to invoices for 

orders placed during months affected by this clause.

In no event, however, will any price adjustment be made which would exceed the maximum permissible under any 

law in effect at the time of the adjustment. The adjustment, if any, shall not be based upon the actual change in cost 

to the contractor, but shall be computed as provided above.

The contractor warrants that the paper prices set forth in this contract do not include any allowance for any 

contingency to cover anticipated increased costs of paper to the extent such increases are covered by this price 

adjustment clause.

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

Government reserves the right to conduct an on-site preaward survey at the contractor’s/subcontractors’ 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(s) 

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

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.

PREAWARD TEST: The contractor being considered for award will be required to demonstrate their ability to 

meet contract requirements at the requisite quality level by completing a preaward test. The Government reserves 

the right to waive the preaward test if there is other evidence that, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, indicates 

that the contractor being considered for award has the capability to successfully produce the items required.

For the preaward test, the Government will furnish a previously printed sample that is representative of the items 

that are to be produced under these specifications.

The pre-award test results and the previously printed sample must be delivered to: U.S. Government Publishing 

Office, Quality Control for Published Products, 732 North Capitol Street NW, Stop: CSPC, Room C613, 

Washington, DC 20401.

with the specifications as to construction, kind, and quality of materials. All samples must be printed on the paper 

required, as specified herein.

Preaward test samples must be submitted to the address indicated above within 10 workdays of receipt of furnished 

test material. 

Approval/Disapproval of Preaward Test: Approval will be based upon the contractor fulfilling all of the 

requirements of the specifications within the time specified. A single deviation from the contract specifications, or 

failure to complete delivery within the time specified may result in declaring the contractor non-responsible.

If preaward test samples are disapproved by the Government, the contractor may be permitted, at the option of the 

Government, additional time to correct defects and/or submit revised test samples if so notified by the Contracting 

Officer.

In the event the revised pre-award test samples are disapproved by the Government, the contractor shall be deemed 

to have failed to comply with the applicable requirements of these specifications and may be reason for a 

determination of non-responsibility.

If the low bidder is declared non-responsible, then the second low bidder will then be tested, and at the option of 

the Government, this process will continue until a successful bidder is found.

All operations necessary in the complete performance of this pre-award test shall be performed at the facilities in 

which the contract production will be performed.

No charges will be allowed for costs incurred by the Contractor for materials required or services necessary in the 

performance of this pre-award test.

CONSTRUCTION:

JACKETS

The warehouse where all A-File Jackets are stored is not climate controlled. The temperatures can range from 40 

to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The jackets must remain intact and functional through this range of temperatures.

Flat size: 20-1/2 (including 1/2” tab and 1-1/4” lipped reinforcement) x 11-3/4”

Front leaf: Finished size – 9-1/4” x 11-3/4” 

Back leaf: Finished size – 10 (including 1/2” tab) x 11-3/4” 

The face of the back leaf (across the 11-3/4” dimension) is reinforced with a 1-1/4" fold-over (1/2” across tab and 

3/4” fold-over across the rest of the face) folding to the inside back leaf. Fold-over must be securely glued.

Tabbing – Back leaf to be lipped across the 11-3/4” dimension with 1/3rd cut, 1/2” tab in position 1 or 3 only, as 

required. Front leaf, die-cut 1/2” deep, 1/3rd cut, position 1 or 3 only corresponding to the tab on the back leaf. 

Round corners on tabs and all outside corners.

Scoring – Score A-File Jackets in three places across the entire 11-3/4” dimension, 3/8” apart on the 9-1/4 x 11-3/4”

front leaf. From the left edge of the inside front leaf, the first two scores are for expansion and the last one is for 

folding. 

The score must be of sufficient depth to provide a clean straight fold, free from wrinkles when the stock is creased 

on the score by hand, without the use of a tool.

Fasteners – Each leaf to be equipped with a permanently affixed, prong type, one piece, rust resistant metal fastener, 

or other fastener of similar design and equal quality and durability which meet the following requirements:

(a) Position – Fasteners to be positioned (prongs inside) as follows:
Serialized and Non-Serialized Alien File Jackets Page 12 of 21

705-S R-1 (6/24)

1) Inside front leaf (C2) - center of fastener 1/2" from top edge and 4-5/8” from the fold or bind edge.

2) Inside back leaf (C3) - center of fasteners 1/2" from top edge and 4-5/8" from the fold or bind edge.

(b) Prongs – Width 7/32". Length 2” to 2-1/4”. Spaced 2-3/4" center to center. 

(c) Quality of Metal – Fasteners to be made of corrosion-resistant, plated, bright finish metal or baked enamel 

finished metal 0.013"thickness (plus/minus 0.001"), Rockwell Hardness F-79 to F-89 and to be of such ductility 

that it will withstand a minimum of 20 ninety-degree flexures without fracture.

Bend Test – With the fastener in the normal flat position, bend the prongs to a vertical position, insert one sheet 

of punched paper on the prongs and bend the prongs back to the flat position. Continue this cycle of bends a 

minimum of 20 times, taking not less than 1 minute to complete the 20 cycles. 

The fasteners shall be produced with properly maintained dies to insure that the finished product is free from 

burrs, sharp edges, cracks, flaws, and malformations which may cause injury to personnel or damage to the filed 

papers. The fasteners shall be free from oil or grease. If fasteners are inserted through the jacket leaves, each 

leaf is to be die-cut and embossed so that the back of the fasteners will be flush on the outside of the jacket with 

a minimum of thickness and so as not to snag other jackets while being removed from or inserted in files. The 

method of securing the fasteners to the leaf must be equal to the eight-crimped-over-ends style.

The warehouse where these folders are stored is not climate controlled. The temperatures can range from 40 to 

120 degrees Fahrenheit. The folders must remain intact and functional through this range of temperatures.

LABELS

Trim four sides. Round all corners. Back of labels are to be coated with a permanent type, pressure-sensitive 

adhesive and shall be firmly affixed with no torn or peeling edges. 

Labels will contain an A-Number on the front half of the label and the A-Number and corresponding bar code on 

the back half of the label. The number on the front must match the number on the back. Label information on each 

side of the tab should be right-reading from that side. No missing numbers.

Each label must wrap around the tab portion as follows:

• All odd numbered labels are to be on the position 1 tab (left tab). 

• All even numbered labels are to be on the position 3 tab (right tab). 

• Label is to be centered left to right on the tab portion. 

• Numbers and barcodes are to be positioned 

• Label is to be placed on the Tab within 10 degrees of parallel to the 11-3/4” dimension. Label is to be folded so 

that the A-Numbers on the front are positioned within 1/2” of the top edge of the front side of the jacket’s tab. 

Additionally, the barcodes and A-Numbers on the back are to be positioned within 1/2” of the top edge of the 

back side of the jacket’s tab.

• The outer edge of the tab must be smooth. 

• The labels must adhere to the A-File Jackets for a period of not less than 75 years, with considerable handling 

for short periods of time. 

• The technology used must create a label which will not further develop an image upon exposure to normal

office environment.

NOTE: Ninety-nine point five percent of all labels shall adhere to these requirements. The bar-coded A-Number

shall match the A-Number on the front side of the jackets to which it is applied with 99.5% accuracy; that is, no 

more than one mismatched or missing bar code error in 200 jackets is acceptable.

code 39 symbology. Labels must also contain numbers in human-readable interpretation printed below the bar code. 

The bar code number must match the actual A-Number. 

NOTE: Random inspection of matching bar code numbers will be conducted during an on-site inspection. 

Printed bar codes shall be high-contrast and have no broken bars, gaps, or blank spots. Printed bar codes must 

continue to be readable into a light pen, ruby wand, or laser reader after the bar code label surface has been rubbed 

by a light Open, ruby wand, or laser reader one dozen times over a short period of time. Prior to shipping, Contractor 

must electronically read or scan each A-File Jacket bar code to verify readability of the codes.
