Program 4519-S

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. As part of the financial

determination, the contractor in line for award may be required to provide one or more of the following 

financial documents: 

1) Most recent profit and loss statement 

2) Most recent Balance Sheet 

3) Statement of cash flows 

4) Current official bank statement 

5) Current lines of credit (with amounts available) 

6) Letter of commitment from paper supplier(s) 

7) Letter of commitment from any subcontractor 

The documents will be reviewed to validate that adequate financial resources are available to perform the 

contract requirements. Documents submitted will be kept confidential and used only for the determination 

of responsibility by the Government. Failure to provide the requested information in the time specified by 

the Government may result in the Contracting Officer not having adequate information to reach an 

affirmative determination of responsibility.

OPTION TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT TERM: 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 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 periodic pricing revision.

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 December 1, 2023 and ending November 30, 2024, 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.
Dosimetric Labels Page 5 of 13

Program 4519-S

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 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 September 1, 2023, 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.

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 individual "Print Orders" for each job placed with the contractor. The print order, 

when issued, will indicate the quantity to be produced and other information pertinent to the particular 

order.

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.
