SECTION 1. - GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

CONTRACT TERMS AND QUALITY ASSURANCE THROUGH ATTRIBUTES: Any contract which 

results from this Request for Quotation will be subject to the applicable articles of GPO Contract Terms 

(GPO Pub. 310.2, effective December 1, 1987 (Rev. June 2001)) and Quality Assurance Through 

Attributes Program (GPO Pub. 310.1, effective May 1979 (revised August 2002)). In case of conflict 

between these specifications and Contract Terms and/or Quality Assurance Through Attributes Program, 

these specifications will govern.

The links for viewing of the most current versions of the mentioned documents are as follows: 

http://www.gpo.gov/pdfs/vendors/terms.pdf, & http://www.gpo.gov/pdfs/vendors/qatap.pdf

GPO Publication 310.2, GPO Contract Terms, Contract Clause 5. Disputes, is hereby replaced with the 

June 2008 clause found at https://www.gpo.gov/pdfs/vendors/contractdisputes.pdf This June 2008 

clause also cancels and supersedes any other disputes language currently included in existing contractual 

actions.

QUALITY ASSURANCE LEVELS AND STANDARDS: The following levels & standards shall apply 

to these specifications:

Product Quality Levels:

(a) Printing Attributes -- Level III.

(b) Finishing Attributes -- Level III.

Inspection Levels (from ANSI/ASQC Z1.4):

(a) Non-destructive Tests - General Inspection Level I.

(b) Destructive Tests - Special Inspection Level S-2.

Specified Standards: The specified standards for the attributes requiring them shall be:

Attribute Specified Standard

P-8. Halftone Match (Single/Double Impression) Approved Proof

P-9. Solid and Screen Tint Color Match Approved Proof

P-10. Process Color Match Approved Proof

* Where electronic files are furnished, the Specified Standard in the absence of hard copy proofs

and/or originals will be uniformity of image throughout the press run.

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 March 1, 2017 to February 28, 2018, and the second and any 
Sandia Colored Cut Sheet Printing Page 3 of 22

Program 1889-SP (2/22)

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 December 2016, 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 not later than 30 days before the contract expires if the 

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