SECTION H SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIRMENTS

FPI 1000HI Economic Price Adjustment

(a) Twelve (12) months after contract award date, and every twelve (12) months thereafter, contract prices for the succeeding twelve (12) month period may be adjusted in accordance with the change in PPI Index PCU327999327999, MISCELLANEOUS NONMETALLIC MINERAL PRODUCTS MANUFACTURING, NOT

SEASONALLY ADJUSTED, using the simple percentage method described in the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics “Escalation Guide for Contracting Parties, available at http://www.bls.gov/ppi/ppiescalation.htm. This will be calculated as follows: index at time of calculation, divided by index at time base price was set. Multiply result by base price, equals adjusted price. IT IS THE CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO

REQUEST THIS ADJUSTMENT.

(b) Adjustments may be requested after the preliminary price index for the month of the anniversary of contract award has been published but not to exceed 90 days after the eligible adjustment date (i.e., anniversary of the contract award date).

Requests that are made after the 90-day limit will 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. Economic price increases will not be granted if the contractor has any past due orders at time of request.

(c) 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.

(d) In computing any price adjustment, the preliminary/first-published index for the month and year of contract award will be compared to the preliminary/first-published index for the contract anniversary month of the adjustment year. This index is not seasonally adjusted. If this index is temporarily unavailable or permanently discontinued, the contracting parties shall either use the index one level up (i.e., the broader index under which the selected index was listed) or agree in writing upon a substitute index.

(e) No adjustment shall be made if the referenced change is less than 2%. Total upward adjustment for the contract period, including any option periods, shall not exceed 10% of the original contract base price; downward adjustments are not limited.

(f) PPI data can be obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics website, by emailing the PPI at ppi-info@bls.gov, or by calling
