SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIRMENTS

H.1 FPI 1000HI ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT Supplement: LCL APPR

Quarterly after contract award date, contract prices for the succeeding Three (3) month period may be adjusted in accordance with the change in the Producer Price Index Decision UNIT PCU335921335921 from the Preceeding three (3) months. IT IS THE CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REQUEST THIS ADJUSTMENT. If the Offeror feels another index is better suited to track the movement of the commodity pricing, please do so as a question to the contracting officer before the closing date and time of questions being allowed.

If the Government decides to exercise an option year of this contract, at such time evaluation of Producer Price Index will be conducted to determine if a price decrease is called for. At such time new proposed pricing will be supplied with Notice of intent to exercise option letter.

IF PRODUCER PRICE INDEX DOES NOT CALL FOR A CHANGE IN PRICE AT ANY TIME DURING THE AWARDED CONTRACT, THE OFFEROR

AGREES TO CONTINUE AT CURRENT PRICING UNTIL THE NEXT TIME AN EPA IS AUTHORIZED (3 Months later).

Adjustments may be requested for a period not to exceed 10 days after the eligible adjustment date. Requests that are made after the 10-day limit may not be honored and the contract pricing will not be adjusted. The contractor shall submit any requests for adjustments in writing to the contracting officer. Requests shall include a copy of the relevant index and must be within the allowed time period for adjustment. Any adjustments authorized as a result of the adjustment request will not be retroactive. The date the completed request is received by the contracting officer will be the effective date of any changes in price.

The contractor also is required to request downward price adjustments. All downward adjustments will be retroactive to the authorized adjustment date as specified in this clause. If downward price adjustments are not requested and this is later revealed through audits or otherwise, the contractor shall reimburse the Government the amount overcharged plus interest. Interest will be computed at the rate set annually by the Secretary of the Treasury for late contract payments. Interest will accrue from the date the adjustment should have been made.

DJU6200009024 PAGE 10 OF 23

In computing any contract price adjustment, the most recently published index as of the date of award will be compared to the most recently published index as of the date of adjustment. An adjustment may or may not be made if the referenced change is less than 2%. Total upward adjustment for the contract period, including any option periods, are

(negotiable), based on the original or option period contract price; downward adjustments are not limited. Indices are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 600 E Street N.W., Washington, DC 20212, telephone 202-691-7705.

The product, manufacturer, or source must be qualified at the time of award whether or not the name of the product, manufacturer, or source is actually included on a qualified products list, qualified manufacturers list, or qualified bidders list. Offerors should contact the agency activity designated below to obtain all requirements that they or their products or services, or their subcontractors or their products or services, must satisfy to become qualified and to arrange for an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities to meet the standards specified for qualification.

(d) Even though a product or service subject to a qualification requirement is not itself an end item under this contract, the product, manufacturer, or source must nevertheless be qualified at the time of award of this contract.

This is necessary whether the Contractor or a subcontractor will ultimately provide the product or service in question. If, after award, the Contracting Officer discovers that an applicable qualification requirement was not in fact met at the time of award, the Contracting Officer may either terminate this contract for default or allow performance to continue if adequate consideration is offered and the action is determined to be otherwise in the

Government's best interests.
