OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF CONTRACT: The Government has the option to extend the term 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” for 

authorized pricing adjustment(s). 

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. 

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 Term 

of Contract clause. There shall be no price adjustment for orders placed during the first program year of this

PRICE ADJUSTMENT: The prices shall be adjusted on the basis of the “Consumer Price Index For All Urban

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

adjusted Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers – Commodities Less Food (seasonally 

adjusted) as follows: An index shall be calculated by averaging the 12 seasonally adjusted months 

ending 3 months prior to the expiration of the current period of this 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. 

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 quantity to be produced and any other information pertinent to the particular order. 

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

each numbered part. Each leaf in each set has the same number, then each set will number consecutively.
