OPTION PRICING 

VS. 

TIER PRICING

• Base and Option Year Contract Pricing vs. Tier Contract Pricing 

– The tier contract pricing approach embraces the concept of a multi-year ordering period with a single Guaranteed Minimum Quantity and a single Contract 

Maximum Quantity for the life of the contract.

– The base and option contract pricing approach embraces the concept of a base 

year ordering period with an option to extend the term for multiple years, one 

additional year at a time. There are multiple Guaranteed Minimum Quantities and 

Maximum Quantities, one of each per year.

– Guaranteed Minimum Quantity - Generally 25% of Annual Estimated Quantity (AEQ) and applies to both. However, for tier pricing, only the first tier/year has a 

Guaranteed Minimum Quantity.

– Maximum Quantity - Generally 125% of AEQ and applies to both.

– Maximum Monthly Quantity – Applies to both.

– Ordering - Quarterly delivery orders apply to both.
