About this file
This is an Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract (SF 30 Form) for Federal Supply Schedule solicitation 797-FSS-03-0001-R1, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs National Acquisition Center on October 23, 2025 (Amendment 0018). The amendment incorporates three primary updates: GSAM Clause 552.238-120 Economic Price Adjustment - Federal Supply Schedule Contracts (Tailored) (Sep 2024), replacing the previous GSAM/R 552.216-70 clause from 1999; updates to the Responsibility Evaluation dated October 2025; and updates to the Signature Authority form dated August 2025. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation issued July 1, 2008, remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
The Economic Price Adjustment clause establishes procedures for adjusting contract pricing throughout the contract period based on established EPA methods, permitting both increases and decreases. Price increases may be requested when based on reissues or modifications of the contractor's commercial catalog or pricelist, and contractors must submit supporting documentation including the commercial catalog showing the price increase and effective date. Price decreases must be submitted anytime they occur and are handled per the Price Reduction Clause. Contractors submit EPA requests to the Federal Supply Schedule Contracting Officer, who reviews conformance with the EPA method and may accept, reject, or negotiate requests. The amendment also includes updated forms for Contractor's Qualifications and Financial Information (requiring two years of audited financial statements or alternative documentation for new FSS contractors) and Signatory Authority for Offers and Contracts, requiring completion by authorized company officers with wet signatures dated August 2025.

ADDED CLAUSE
GSAM 552.238-120 Economic Price Adjustment – Federal Supply Schedule Contracts (Tailored) (Sep 2024).
Economic Price Adjustment—Federal Supply Schedule Contracts (Sep 2024)
(a) Definition. "Economic price adjustment method", as used in this clause, means the agreed upon procedures by which pricing may be adjusted throughout the contract period to include, but not limited to, the mechanism(s) to be used to adjust pricing (e.g., adjustments based on established pricing), the pricing subject to adjustment, and any other requirements (e.g., timing, frequency)
(b) General. This contract provides for economic price adjustment (EPA) to contract pricing based on the established EPA method. EPA provides for the increase and decrease to stated contract pricing upon the occurrence of specified conditions described in the EPA method, such as market index changes or unforeseeable significant changes in market conditions.
(c) Exceptions. This clause does not cover—
(1) Adjustments based on statute, Executive Order, or regulation (e.g., Service Contract Labor Standards ( 41 U.S.C. chapter 67) and AbilityOne procurements ( FAR subpart 8.7));
(2) Adjustments based on a change clause (e.g., paragraph (c) of GSAR clause 552.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (FAR DEVIATION 52.212-4));
(3) Price reductions made under GSAR clause 552.238-81, Price Reductions;
(4) Adjustments based on GSAR clause 552.238-117, Price Adjustment-Failure to Provide Accurate Information; and
(5) Adjustments based on a contract clause that authorizes an adjustment based on specified actions or conditions.
(d) Economic price adjustment method - The following is FSS’ economic price adjustment method:
(1) Note 1: For Special Item Number (SIN) 42-2A, paragraph (b) is no longer controlling for covered drugs listed on the FSS at their federal ceiling prices (FCPs). Any request for an economic price adjustment under SIN 42-2A will be determined in accordance with the MA and PPA entered into between the contractor and the VA pursuant to Public Law 102-585. Contractors with dual SIN 42-2A pricelists may apply paragraph (b) to covered drug items on their OGA pricelists. Please see clause AS212 Generic Item Modifications for additional requirements for price increases and decreases for SIN 42-2b.
(2) Note 2: The tracking customer’s price must be disclosed with your request for increases. The awarded tracking customer and the established ratio at the time of award will affect your ability to receive an increase.
(3) Note 3: Commercial Price Lists will use labor statistics indices (such as Bureau of Labor and Statistics) for Service type contracts.
(4) Price adjustments include price increases and price decreases. Adjustments will be considered as follows:
(i) Contractors shall submit price decreases anytime during the contract period in which they occur. Price decreases will be handled in accordance with the provisions of the Price Reduction Clause.
(ii) Contractors may request a price increase resulting from a reissue or other modification of the Contractor's commercial catalog/pricelist that was used as the basis for the contract award.
(iii) The following material shall be submitted with the request for a price increase: a copy of the commercial catalog/pricelist showing the price increase and the effective date for commercial customers.
(e) Submission requirements. The Contractor shall submit EPA requests to the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Contracting Officer pursuant to the EPA method. EPA requests shall fully conform to the requirements of the EPA method and include sufficient information to support the request. The FSS Contracting Officer may request additional information from the Contractor.
(f) Contracting Officer responsibilities. The FSS Contracting Officer will—
(1) Review the EPA request to ensure conformance with the EPA method,
(2) Make a determination. The FSS Contracting Officer may use any information (e.g., market research) deemed necessary to support their determination. The FSS Contracting Officer may determine to—
(i) Accept the EPA request either in whole or in part,
(ii) Reject the EPA request either in whole or in part, or
(iii) Take any other action deemed to be in the best interest of the Government (e.g., negotiate a more favorable EPA).
(3) Notify the Contractor of their determination, and
(4) Modify the contract, as applicable, to reflect the determination. Contract items that need to be removed from the contract as a result of rejection or an inability to reach agreement are to be removed in accordance with 552.238-79, Cancellation.
(g) Effective date. EPA requests approved by the FSS Contracting Officer under this clause shall apply to orders issued on or after the effective date of the contract modification. Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) may be modified by the ordering agency in accordance with the terms and conditions of the BPA.
(h) Update of contract pricing and catalog data. The Contractor shall update its FSS pricing and any other FSS catalog data in accordance with the terms and conditions of this contract.
