only when performed in conjunction with (online with) the manufacture of these envelopes.

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

Envelopes Page 3 of 15

Program 1898-SP (1/21)

(1) The contract price of orders placed during the adjusted period (excluding reimbursable postage 

or 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 three months prior to the expiration of the first period of the 

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.

NOTIFICATION: The contractor will be notified not later than 30 days before the contract expires if the 

Government makes the decision to not exercise the option for a subsequent period.

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

PAYMENT BY ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER (EFT): Public Law 104-134 of April 26, 1996, 

requires that Federal agencies convert from making payment by check to paying by electronic funds 

transfer (EFT). Accordingly, the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) intends to issue payment by 

EFT under any contract or purchase order resulting from this solicitation

To arrange for Electronic Funds Transfer payment, the contractor must complete a Standard Form 3881 

(ACH Vendor/Miscellaneous Payment Enrollment Form) and submit it to: U.S. Government Publishing

Office, Procurement Accounting Division, Stop FMC, Washington, DC 20401. A copy of SF-3881 is 

available to be downloaded from the GPO Internet site at http://www.gpo.gov/ vendors/sfas.htm as an 

Adobe Acrobat PDF file. A new SF-3881 should be submitted for changes in company or financial 

institution information. Contractors already registered for EFT with the GPO need not reapply.

The need for GPO Form 1034, "Public Voucher for Purchases" has been eliminated. You may use your 

own company’s invoice or while supplies last, at your option, you may continue to use GPO Form 1034. 

To expedite your payment, remember to include the following items on your invoice: Jacket/Term 

Contract Number, Print order number, Discount terms, Quantity shipped, and Total Cost. Continue 

to submit evidence of shipment and/or delivery with your voucher/invoice.

Although not a requirement at this time, the contractor is encouraged to submit the “Bar Code Cover 

Sheet” with the request for payment. The use of this document will greatly facilitate prompt payment to 

the contractor. The following website address will allow you to create the GPO payment barcode cover 

page http://winapps.access.gpo.gov/fms/vouchers/barcode/.

PAYMENT: The Government Publishing Office will utilize the following procedure. Billing certification 

sheets for the work performed will be sent by the contractor to the ordering agency for examination and 

certification as to correctness of the billing as applicable to the work performed. The ordering agency is 

required to return the signed billing certification to the contractor within five (5) workdays of receipt. In 

addition, after certification by the ordering agency, a copy of the approved billing certification sheet and 

the accompanying print order is to be submitted to the Denver RPPO, by the ordering agency, immediately 

via fax (303) 236–5304 to: ATTN: Procurement Technician or email to infodenver@gpo.gov.

After examination and certification by the ordering agency the invoice/voucher, print order, proof of 

delivery, and the agency signed billing certification must be submitted to: Comptroller, 

U.S. Government Publishing Office, North Capitol and H Streets, NW, Washington, D.C. 20401. In 

addition the contractor is instructed to fax a duplicate set of these documents to the Denver GPO 

office. The fax number is 303-236-5304 ATTN: Procurement Technician or email to 

infodenver@gpo.gov.
