321-S (R-2) (12/23)

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 December 31, 2023, 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 September 30, 

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.

PAPER PRICE ADJUSTMENT: Paper prices charged under this contract will be adjusted in accordance with 

"Table 9 - Producer Price Indexes and Percent Changes for Commodity Groupings and Individual Items" in 

Producer Price Indexes report, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), as follows: 

1. BLS code 0913 for All Paper will apply to all paper required under this contract.

2. The applicable index figures for the month of December 2022 will establish the base index.

3. There shall be no price adjustment for the first three months of the contract.

4. Price adjustments may be monthly thereafter, but only if the index varies by an amount (plus or minus) 

exceeding 5% by comparing the base index to the index for that month which is two months prior to the month 

being considered for adjustment.
National Park Service Brochures Page 4 of 23

321-S (R-2) (12/23)

5. Beginning with order placement in the fourth month, index variances will be calculated in accordance with the 

following formula:

X - base index

______________ x 100 = ___ %

base index

where X = the index for that month which is two months prior to the month being considered for adjustment.

6. The contract adjustment amount, if any, will be the percentage calculated in 5 above less 5%.

7. Adjustments under this clause will be applied to the contractor's bid prices for line items IV. “PAPER in the 

“SCHEDULE OF PRICES” and will be effective on the first day of any month for which prices are to be 

adjusted.

The Contracting Officer will give written notice to the contractor of any adjustments to be applied to invoices for 

orders placed during months affected by this clause.

In no event, however, will any price adjustment be made which would exceed the maximum permissible under any 

law in effect at the time of the adjustment. The adjustment, if any, shall not be based upon the actual change in cost 

to the contractor, but shall be computed as provided above.

The contractor warrants that the paper prices set forth in this contract do not include any allowance for any 

contingency to cover anticipated increased costs of paper to the extent such increases are covered by this price 

adjustment clause.

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

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.

POSTAWARD CONFERENCE: Unless waived by the Contracting Officer, the total requirements of the job as 

indicated in these specifications will be reviewed by Government representatives with the contractor’s 

representatives at the U.S. Government Publishing Office, Washington, DC, immediately after award. At the option

of the Government, the postaward conference may be conducted via teleconference.

SECTION 3. - DETERMINATION OF AWARD

The Government will determine the lowest bid by applying the prices offered in the "SCHEDULE OF PRICES" to 

the following units of production which are the estimated requirements to produce one (1) year’s production under 

this contract. These units do not constitute, nor are they to be construed as, a guarantee of the volume of work which 

may be ordered for a like period of time.

Transportation charges are not a factor in determining award.

PREMIUM PAYMENTS: Orders requiring the “Accelerated Schedule” will be paid for at the premium rate in 

accordance with the contractor’s offered percentage in the “SCHEDULE OF PRICES.”

All other orders will be placed with the “Regular Schedule” and paid for at the basic prices offered.

Percentages offered for premium priced work are additional to the basic prices offered for units of work. Premium 

payments, when authorized, will apply to all items except Item IV., “PAPER” in the “SCHEDULE OF PRICES.”

Failure of the contractor to deliver work at the time specified will result in disallowance of premium payments that 

were anticipated, and the contractor will not list such items on their billing invoice.

It is estimated that 20% of the orders placed on this contract will require an accelerated schedule. Premium payments 

for an accelerated schedule will be evaluated for award. Evaluation will be affected by applying the percentage 

increase, offered for the accelerated schedule in the “SCHEDULE OF PRICES,” (Item VI.) to all items except Item

IV., “PAPER.”

The following item designations correspond to those listed in the “SCHEDULE OF PRICES.”
