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

There will be no adjustment for orders placed during the first period below. Pricing will thereafter be

NPS Redwood National and State Park Page 5 of 16

Program 1955-S (3/2020)

applicable to reimbursable postage or transportation costs, or to paper, if paper prices are subject to 

adjustment by separate clause herein.

For the purpose of this clause, the contract shall be divided into successive periods. The first period 

shall extend from March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021. 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

"Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers - Commodities Less Food” 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 the 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 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 November 30, 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.

NOTIFICATION: The contractor will be notified a minimum of 30 days before the end of the current 

contract annual period of availability or non-availability 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.
