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 August 1, 2026 to July 31, 2027, 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

April 30, 2026 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. As part of the financial determination, the contractor in line for award may be required to

provide one or more of the following financial documents:

1) Most recent profit and loss statement

2) Most recent balance sheet

3) Statement of cash flows

4) Current official bank statement

5) Current lines of credit (with amounts available)

6) Letter of commitment from paper supplier(s)

7) Letter of commitment from any subcontractor

The documents will be reviewed to validate that adequate financial resources are available to perform the contract

requirements. Documents submitted will be kept confidential, and used only for the determination of responsibility

by the Government. Failure to provide the requested information in the time specified by the Government may result

in the Contracting Officer not having adequate information to reach an affirmative determination of responsibility.
