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

except, the total duration of the contract may not exceed five (5) years as a result of, and including, any extension(s) 
Veritas Page 3 of 13

2380-S (8/16)

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 August 31, 2016, 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 March 31,2015, 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.

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 August 31, 2016, 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 control in the event of conflict with any print order. A print order shall be 

“issued”, for purposes of the contract, when it is either deposited in the U.S. Postal Service mail or otherwise furnished
