except, the total duration of the contract may not exceed five (5) 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).

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT: The pricing under this contract shall be adjusted in accordance with this

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

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 June 30, 2018, 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.
