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 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 April 30, 2022, and the second and any succeeding period(s) will extend for 12 months from
Labels

1724S (4/22) Page 3 of 13

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 January 31, 2022, 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, the Government reserves the right

to conduct an on-site preaward survey at the contractor’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)

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.

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.

ORDERING: Items to be furnished under the contract shall be ordered by the issuance of print orders by the Government.

Orders may be issued under the contract from Date of Award through April 30, 2022, plus for such additional period(s) as the

contract is extended. All print orders issued hereunder are subject to the terms and conditions of the contract. The contract shall
