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

contractor. 
Various Army Publications – TACOM Page 3 of 19 

672-S (8/14) 

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 September 1, 2013 to August 31, 2014, 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 May 31, 2013, 

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. 

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

“Table 6 - 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 August 2013 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 (2) months prior to 

the month 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 (2) 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%. 
Various Army Publications – TACOM Page 4 of 19 

672-S (8/14) 

 7. Adjustments under this clause will be applied to the contractor’s bid price(s) for line items II. PAPER (a) 

and (b) 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 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. 

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. 

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 September 1, 2013 through August 31, 2014, plus for 

such additional period(s) as the contract is extended. All print orders issued hereunder are subject to the terms 

and conditions of the contract. The contract shall control in the event of conflict with any print order. A print 

order shall be “issued,” for purposes of the contract, when it is either deposited in the U.S. Postal Service mail or 

otherwise furnished to the contractor in conformance with the schedule.

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 for the items set forth herein do not result in orders in the amounts or quantities described as

The Government shall not be required to purchase from the contractor, requirements in excess of the limit on total

by the contractor within the time specified in the order, and the rights and obligations of the contractor and the 

Government respecting those orders shall be governed by the terms of this contract to the same extent as if 

completed during the effective period of this contract. 

If shipment/delivery of any quantity of an item covered by the contract is required by reason of urgency prior to 

the earliest date that shipment/delivery may be specified under this contract, and if the contractor will not accept 

an order providing for the accelerated shipment/delivery, the Government may procure this requirement from 

another source. 
Various Army Publications – TACOM Page 5 of 19
