OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT: 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 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).

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 
ICS Manuals Page 3 of 12

2391-S (07/31/14)

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 Date of Award to July 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 30, 

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.

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.

Government. Orders may be issued under the contract from Date of Award through July 31, 2014. All print
