TIER CONTRACT PRICING

• Tier Contract Pricing

 The tier contract pricing approach embraces the concept of a 

multi-year ordering period. A Guaranteed Minimum Quantity 

(Generally 25% of AEQ) applies to the first tier/year only. A 

single Contract Maximum Quantity (Generally 125% of AEQs) 

for the life of the contract applies. A Maximum Monthly Quantity 

and Quarterly Delivery Orders also apply.

As of November 03, 2023 123
WARFIGHTER ALWAYS WARFIGHTER ALWAYS

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT

• Economic Price Adjustment

 In general, C&T solicitations do not include an Economic Price 

Adjustment (EPA) Clause. Prior to solicitation issuance/opening, 

a market research survey is posted on https://sam.gov which 

provides the opportunity for any company interested in supplying 

an end item to state if they would like an EPA clause included in 

the solicitation. If so, the company is required to provide the 

index/indices to be considered for the EPA clause and the basic 

material(s) percentage of end item cost that the PPI will apply to. 

Please understand that an upward ceiling and downward floor of 

no more than 10% of the applicable base unit price shall apply.
