ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT: The prices set forth in this contract shall be adjusted in accordance with 

the provisions of this clause, provided that in no event will prices be revised to exceed the maximum permissible 

under any law existing as of the date of the contract or as may be hereafter promulgated.

Price adjustment period: For the purpose of this clause, the program years shall comply with the Contract Term 

clause on page 1. There shall be no price adjustment for orders placed during the first program year of this 

contract.

Price adjustment: The prices shall be adjusted on the basis of the "Consumer Price Index For All Urban 

Consumers - Commodities Less Food", published monthly in the CPI Detailed Report by the U.S. Department of 

Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the following manner:

(1)The contract price of orders placed during the adjusted period (excluding reimbursable postage or 

transportation costs) shall be adjusted by the percentage increase or decrease in the average, seasonally 

adjusted Consumer Price Index as follows: An index shall be calculated by averaging the 12 seasonally 

adjusted months ending 3 months prior to the expiration of the first program year of the contract. This average 

is then compared with the average index for the 12-month period ending 3 months prior to the beginning of the 

contract, called the base index. The percentage increase or decrease by comparing these two indexes shall be 

applied to the contractor's invoices for orders placed during the price adjustment period.

(2)The Government will notify the contractor in writing of the percentage increase or decrease to be 

applied to any invoices to be submitted for orders subject to price adjustment in accordance with this clause. 

Such percentage will be determined from the published index as set forth above. The contractor shall apply the 

percentage increase or decrease against the total price of the invoice less reimbursable postage or 

transportation costs. Any applicable discounts will be calculated on the basis of the invoice price as adjusted.

If the Government exercises an option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this economic price 

adjustment clause.

LIMITATION OF PERFORMANCE AND CONTRACTOR OBLIGATIONS: Funds are available for performance 

of this contract for the first program period only. The amount of funds available at award is not considered 

sufficient for the performance required for any program period other than the first program period. When 

additional funds are available for the full requirements of the next succeeding program period, the Contracting 

Officer shall, not later than the date specified in the "Options" clause (unless a later date is agreed to), so notify 

the contractor in writing.

The Government's obligation to the contractor, as specified and limited under this contract, extends only to work 

under program period requirements for which funds have been made available and as obligated by each print 

order.

The contractor is not obligated to incur costs for the performance required for any program period after the first 

unless written notification is received from the Contracting Officer of an increase in availability of funds. If so 

notified, the contractor's obligation shall increase only to the extent contract performance is required for the 

additional program period for which funds have been made available.

If this contract is terminated under the "Termination for the Convenience of the Government" clause "total 

contract price" in that clause means the amount available for performance of this contract, as provided for in this 

clause. The term "work in process" in that clause means the work under program period requirements for which 

funds have been made available. If the contract is terminated for default, the Government's rights under this 

contract shall apply to the entire multiperiod requirements.

Shipment/delivery of items or performance of work shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in 

accordance with the clause entitled "Ordering". The quantities of items specified herein are estimates only, and 

are not purchased hereby. Except as may be otherwise provided in this contract, if the Government's

"estimated", it shall not constitute the basis for an equitable price adjustment under this contract. Except as 

otherwise provided in this contract, the Government shall order from the contractor all the items set forth which 

are required to be purchased by the Government activity identified on page one.

The Government shall not be required to purchase from the contractor, requirements in excess of the limit on total

Government respecting those orders shall be governed by the terms of this contract to the same extent as if 

completed during the effective period of this contract.

date that shipment/ delivery may be specified under this contract, and if the contractor will not accept an order 

providing for the accelerated shipment/delivery, the Government may procure this requirement from another source.

RECOVERED MATERIALS PROGRAM: The Government Publishing Office is promoting the use of recovered 

materials in its contracts to the maximum extent practicable, provided all specification requirements are met. 

Offerors are encouraged to supply paper and paper products that contain recovered materials even in the absence 

of a specific solicitation provision or contract clause requiring such materials.

Recovered materials shall mean "recovered fiber" or "postconsumer recovered fiber" as defined in "Government 

Paper Specification Standards No. 12," published by the Joint Committee on Printing. However, when used in 

conjunction with the cotton/linen content of paper, "recovered fiber" means a postconsumer fiber and "recovered 

material" means a preconsumer fiber.

By submission of a bid or offer, or by substantial performance on a small purchase, the offeror certifies that the 

paper to be supplied contains at least the minimum percentage of recovered materials in the paper products as 

specified. This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States, and the 

making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to prosecution under Title 18, 

United States Code, Section 1001. The Government reserves the right to require proof of such certification prior to 

first delivery and thereafter as may be otherwise provided for under the provisions of the contract.

When the use of recovered materials is specified, the contractor shall maintain manufacturer/mill accounting and 

record summaries on the fiber weight content used as feed stock, for the purposes of Government audit, that will 

verify (a) the contractor's certification of the minimum percentage of recovered materials used in the performance of 

the contract, (b) that the paper and paper products are in compliance with the specification requirements, and (c) the 

paper is manufactured in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Paper Products Recovered 

Materials Advisory Notice (61 FR 26985, May 29, 1996) whether the products are manufactured by the contractor or 

another paper mill. The contractor, if not the manufacturer, shall obtain this information from the paper 

manufacturer. The contractor shall maintain, and make available to the Government, these documents for one year 

after the expiration of the contract. Nothing in this clause shall excuse the contractor from furnishing the specified 

paper.

FACSIMILE BIDS: The solicitation provision in GPO Contract Terms (Pub. 310.2) permitting facsimile bids means a 

bid that has been transmitted to and has been received by a commercial enterprise via facsimile and subsequently 

delivered to the Government. Facsimile bids transmitted to GPO offices will not be considered.
