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 October 1, 2026 to September 30, 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 June 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.
POSTAWARD CONFERENCE: Unless waived by the Contracting Officer, the total requirements of the job as
indicated in these specifications will be reviewed by Government representatives with the contractor's
representatives at the Government Publishing Office, Washington, DC, immediately after award. At the

contractor chooses this proof option, prior evaluation and approval of this proofing method must be provided
by GPO, Quality Control for Published Products, to ensure that the final product will be produced in accordance

standards-files-for-vendors/qlsamples6f200c30b44a64308413ff00001d133d.pdf. Failure to obtain this

in such event shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility to deliver the contract quantities in accordance
with the shipping schedule.

specified, the Contracting Officer shall automatically extend the shipping schedule in accordance with Contract
Clause 12, "Notice of Compliance With Schedules," of GPO Contract Terms (GPO Publication 310.2, effective
