All terms and conditions of subject solicitation remain the same except for the following changes: 

1.The provision FAR 52.229-11 Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements—Notice and Representation, and new clause, FAR 

52.229-12 Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements are hereby incorporated by reference to subject solicitation. 

2.Page 13, delete clause 52.219-16 Liquidated Damages – Subcontracting. 

3.The Procurement Note Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) - Department of Labor Index (AUG 2017) on pages 27 – 29 and 

all references to this EPA in the solicitation are hereby deleted and replaced with the following: 

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT (EPA) – UNITIZED GROUP RATION (UGR) 

(a) Warranties: For the portion of the schedule that is covered by this EPA language, the Contractor warrants that the 

unit prices included in the Schedule does not include allowances for any portion of the contingency covered by this 

EPA language. 

(b) Base unit price: The base unit prices for the purpose of the adjustment calculations under this EPA language shall 

be the arithmetic average of the weekly or monthly prices of each applicable economic indicator only (e.g. an average 

of egg indices for egg products, pork belly indices for pork products, and skim milk and butterfat indices for milk 

products) only for the period specified under the “BASE Unit Price” column in paragraph (b) immediately preceding (i) 

the closing date for proposals, (if no discussions are held), (ii) the due date for final proposal revisions, (if 

discussions are held), or (iii) the opening date, (if sealed bidding is used). 

Item: BIB Dehydrated Egg Mix 

EPA Factor: EGG 

Economic Indicators: National Liquid Egg, Whole, Weighted Average and National Liquid Egg, White,Weighted Average 

The indicators are published Weekly by USDA in USDA Egg Market News Report. 

Base Unit Price: 52 weeks period 

Adjusting Unit Price: 52 weeks period 

 (c) Adjusting unit price: The adjusting unit prices shall be the arithmetic average of the weekly or monthly prices 

of each applicable economic indicator only for the period specified under the “Adjusting Unit Price” column shown in 

paragraph (b) immediately preceding the effective date the Tier term is exercised. 

(d) An established market price is a price that is established in the course of ordinary and usual trade between 

buyers and sellers free to bargain and that can be substantiated by data from sources independent of the offeror(s); 

and the net price after applying any standard trade discounts offered by the Contractor. The established market price 

under this EPA language may reflect industry-wide and/or geographically based market price fluctuations for commodity 

groups or specific supplies. The established market price that shall be used for the EPA factors subject to price 

adjustments under this EPA language, and the economic indicators and publications to be used are listed in paragraph 

(b) of this EPA language. 

(e) With respect to increases or decreases under this EPA language, no adjustment shall be made to the base term 

contract unit prices. One adjustment calculation shall be made annually to determine the unit prices applicable to the 

forthcoming Tier term. 

(f) EPA allowance factor: For the purpose of price adjustment pursuant to this EPA language, it shall be conclusively 

presumed that the amount shown under “Portion Subject to EPA” represents the cost of each item that is subject to 

adjustment. The portion subject to EPA refers to the element of cost for each item that is outside the control of the 

vendor and in “Schedule B” the offerors will be required to fill in this amount. This is the only portion of the cost 

that will be subject to the EPA provision. The EPA provisions based on changes in market prices for product material 

costs such as egg, pork belly, skim milk, and buttermilk, are subject to the EPA, because there is serious doubt 

concerning the stability of market conditions. The balance of product costs for items such as labor, overhead, General 

and Administrative (G&A), transportation, and profit are those contingencies that can be included in the contract 

price and can be identified and covered separately through firm fixed prices. The EPA allowance factor remains fixed 

throughout the life of the contract unless a Government authorized change is made to the contract which affects this 

allowance. 

(g) Performance requirement: The United States Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) Natick 

Soldier Center (NSC) who prepares the specifications has moved from Military Specifications to Performance 

Requirements. The Government no longer states the specific amount of product (egg, pork belly, skim milk, buttermilk 

etc.) (a unitized group ration item) that goes into a Unitized Group Ration, only an overall amount with a protein and 

carbohydrate requirement. Meeting the protein and carbohydrate requirement indicates that the Contractor has put in 

sufficient quantities of required ingredients in the Unitized Group Ration to satisfy the requirement. (Different 

Contractors will put in differing quantities of egg, pork belly, skim milk, buttermilk etc. to meet the protein and 

carbohydrate performance requirements). This is why specific weights or quantities cannot be specified in advance in 

this EPA as would be used in a Military Specification and the cost for the items subject to adjustment will be entered 

by the Contractor in Section B. The Government performs oversight to ensure that the performance requirements are met 

or exceeded. 

(h) Adjustments shall be calculated as follows: (Round to four decimal places) 

(1) Compute the Adjusting Unit Price and the Base Unit Price. 

(2) (Adjusting Unit Price – Base Unit Price)/Base Unit Price = Market Price Change (+ or -). 

(3) Market Price Change X Allowance Factor = Contract Unit Price Adjustment (+ or -) for each item subject to EPA 

adjustment. 

(4) The original Tier unit price(s) for each Tier will be the sum of the firm fixed price portion and the portion 

subject to the EPA (Allowance Factor). The adjusted unit price(s) for each Tier shall be determined by increasing or 

decreasing (as appropriate) the Allowance Factor by the Contract Unit Price Adjustment and adding that to the firm 

fixed price portion agreed to at the time of award for the Tier period being adjusted. 

(5) Determine the Contract Price Adjustment by computing the sum total of the price Adjustment of all items subject to 

EPA. 

(i) Price adjustments pursuant to this EPA language shall be made by contract modification showing the calculations 

used to derive the adjusted contract unit price. 

(j) Payments: Payment for items pending adjustment under this EPA language shall be at the existing unadjusted current

unit price until an adjustment modification has been issued. Following issuance of an adjusting contract modification, 

the Government shall pay the Contractor, upon submission of proper invoices or vouchers, the adjusted price stated in 

the contract modification for the applicable Tier period. The Contractor represents by submitting its final invoice 

that the total amount billed under this contract reflects all increases or decreases required or authorized by this 

EPA language. 

(k) Any pricing actions pursuant to the “Changes” clause or other provisions of the contract will be priced as though 

there were no provisions for economic price adjustment. 

(l) No adjustment will be made under this EPA language unless the total change in the contract amount is $500.00 or 

more. 

(m) Upward ceiling on economic price adjustment: The total increase in any contract unit price shall not exceed 10% 

per annum of the original Tier unit prices agreed to at time of award. There is no percentage limit on downward 

adjustments under this EPA language. 

(n) Revision of market price indicator: In the event (i) any applicable market price indicator is discontinued or its 

method of derivation is altered substantially or (ii) the Contracting Officer determines that a particular market 

price indicator consistently and substantially no longer reflects market conditions, the parties shall mutually agree 

upon an appropriate and comparable substitute and the contract shall be modified to reflect such substitute effective 

on the date the indicator was discontinued, altered, or began to consistently and substantially fail to reflect market 

conditions. 

(o) Disputes: If the parties fail to agree on an appropriate substitute market price indicator or implementation of 

other matters addressed by this EPA language then the matter shall be resolved in accordance with the Disputes clause 

of the contract. 

(p) Authority to add additional items to this EPA language: Paragraph (b) of this EPA language identifies 3 unique 

components contained in the ration. These components are selected based on historical data and may not be included in 

every ration. Refer elsewhere in the solicitation/contract for listing of the exact component makeup. Due to customer 

requirements, the Contracting Officer may add additional components to the ration. The Contracting Officer will show 

within paragraph (b) the additional components(s). 

(q) Examination of records: The Contractor agrees that the Contracting Officer or designated representative shall have 

the right to examine the Contractor’s books, records, documents, or other data the Contracting Officer deems necessary 

to verify Contractor adherence to the provisions of the clause. 

(r) In the event any applicable market price indicator is not published for any week(s), that week will not be 

included in calculating the base unit price or the adjusting unit price as applicable. For instance, if within a 52 

week period an indicator is not published 4 times, the average of the 48 published prices only will be calculated. 

When a range of prices is provided, for the purposes of the calculations the arithmetic average of the high and low 

number will be calculated to determine the indicator for that period.
