Due to new award procedures on Invitation for Bid contracts, GPO now requires financial statements from

consideration for award. These documents will be kept in strict confidentiality.

PREAWARD TEST: The contractor being considered for award shall be required to complete the following 

preaward test, unless waived by the Contracting Officer. The Government may waive the requirement for a 

preaward test where supplies identical or similar to those called for have been previously furnished by the 

contractor and have been accepted by the Government.

1. The prospective contractor who is in line for award must provide paper samples and similar samples. 

2. The preaward test must be performed at the same facilities and on the same equipment that will be used to 

produce product required for this contract.

3. This test must be delivered within five workdays from date of request. 

4. Disapproval of Preaward Test: At the option of the Government and if so notified by the Contracting Officer, 

the contractor may be permitted additional time to correct defects or to submit additional test material. The time 

allowed to provide additional test material may differ depending upon the nature of the defects noted. This will 

be specified when notification is given.

5. Approval of Preaward Test: Approval will be based upon 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 nonresponsible.

No charges will be allowed for costs incurred in the performance of the preaward test.

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

ORDERING: Items to be furnished under the contract shall be ordered by the issuance of print orders by the 

Government. Orders may be issued under the contract from November 1, 2019 through October 30, 2020 plus for

1089-S, Revision One 4 of 12

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 years as a result of, and including, any extension(s) 

added under this clause. Further extension may be negotiated under the "Extension of Contract Term" clause. See 

also "Economic Price Adjustment" for authorized pricing adjustment(s).

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). 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, 2019 to October 30, 2020), 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, 

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.

NOTIFICATION: The contractor will be notified of availability or nonavailability of funds for subsequent 

periods. Cancellation is effected if (i) the Contracting Officer notifies the contractor that funds are not available 

for the next year, or (ii) the Contracting Officer fails to notify the contractor that funds are available for the next 

year.

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 requirements
