period of time as may be mutually agreeable to the GPO and the contractor.
OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF CONTRACT
The Government has the option to extend the term of this contract for a period of 12 months by written notice to
the contractor not later than 30 days before the contract expires. If the Government exercises this option, the
extended contract shall be considered to include this clause, except, the total duration of the contract may not exceed
5 years (April 30, 2031) as a result of, and including, any extension(s) added under this clause. Further extension
may be negotiated under the "Extension of Term of Contract" clause. See also "Economic Price Adjustment" clause
for authorized pricing adjustment(s).
Section 508 Compliant PDF Files Page 6 of 25
1561-S (3/27)
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 May 1, 2026 through April 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
January 31, 2025, 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.
If the Government exercises an option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this economic price
adjustment clause.
NOTE: This contract does not have a Paper Price Adjustment clause.
ASSIGNMENT OF JACKETS, PURCHASE AND PRINT ORDERS
A GPO jacket number will be assigned and a purchase order issued to the contractor to cover work performed. The
purchase order may be supplemented by an individual "Print Order" for each job placed with the contractor. The
print order, when issued, will indicate the quantity to be produced and any other information pertinent to the
particular order.
PRE-AWARD 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:
Section 508 Compliant PDF Files Page 7 of 25

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.
PRE-AWARD TEST
The contractor being considered for award shall be required to complete the following pre-award test, unless waived
by the Contracting Officer. The Government may waive the requirement for a pre-award test where supplies
identical or similar to those called for have been previously furnished by the contractor and have been accepted by
the Government.
1. The prospective contractor will receive the pre-award test material via contractor-maintained sFTP site or
e-mail. It is anticipated that the test material will consist of a Native PDF, a scanned PDF, and an Adobe
LiveCycle Designer form. These publications may be untagged or tagged and may be in English or in a
language other than English that is listed in "Section 2, Specifications". Contractor shall make the files
Section 508 Compliant as described in "Section 2, Specifications".
2. The pre-award test must be performed at the same facilities and on the same equipment that will be used to
produce Section 508 Complaint files required for this contract.
3. This test must be delivered by contractor-maintained sFTP site or by e-mail before the close of business 3
workdays after the furnished test material is made available. The Government will review the test files and
notify the contractor of the approval or disapproval within 3 workdays after receipt of test files.
4. Disapproval of Pre-award Test: At the option of the Government and if so notified by the Contracting
Officer, the contractor may be permitted additional time to correct defects or to submit additional test
material. The time allowed to provide additional test material may differ depending upon the nature of the
defects noted. This will be specified when notification is given.
5. Approval of Pre-award Test: Approval will be based upon fulfilling all of the requirements of the
specifications within the time specified. A single deviation from the contract specifications or failure to
complete delivery within the time specified may result in declaring the contractor non-responsible.
No charges will be allowed for costs incurred in the performance of the pre-award test.
ORDERING
Items to be furnished under the contract shall be ordered by the issuance of print orders by the Government. Orders
may be issued under the contract from May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027 plus for such additional period(s) as
the contract is extended. All print orders issued hereunder are subject to the terms and conditions of the contract.

notification by the Government for purposes of the contract when it is electronically transmitted or otherwise
physically furnished to the contractor in conformance with the schedule.
