Amendment # 2 to Solicitation QMAA-T8-110001-N

DELETE CLAUSES:

D.30 552.216-71 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT—STOCK AND SPECIAL ORDER PROGRAM CONTRACTS (AUG 2010) (ALTERNATE I—AUG 2010) (ALTERNATE II—AUG 2010)

a) “Producer Price Index” (PPI), as used in this clause, means the originally released index, not seasonally adjusted, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor (Labor) for product code 441 found under Table 4 .

(b) Once during each 12-month period, the contract price may be adjusted upward or downward a maximum of 10 percent.

(1) For the first option period, any price adjustment for the product code shall be based upon the percentage change in the PPI released in the month prior to the initial month of the contract period specified in the solicitation for sealed bidding or the month prior to award in negotiation (the base index) and the PPI released in the third month before completion of the initial contract period stated in the solicitation (the updated index). This initial contract period may be less than 12 months. The formula for determining the Adjusted Contract Price (ACP) applicable to shipments during the first option period is—

(2) For any subsequent option period, the price adjustment shall be the percentage change between the previously updated index (the new base index) and the PPI released 12 months later (the most recent updated index). This percentage shall be applied to the Current Contract Price (CCP). The formula for determining the ACP applicable to shipments for the subsequent option period(s) is—

(c) If the PPI is not available for the month of the base index or the updated index, the month with the most recently published PPI prior to the month determining the base index or updated index shall be used.

(d) If a product code is discontinued, the Government and the Contractor will mutually agree to substitute a similar product code. If Labor designates an index with a new title and/or code number as continuous with the product code specified above, the new index shall be used.

e) Unless the Contractor’s written request for a price adjustment resulting from the application of the formulas in paragraphs (b)(1) or (2) of this clause is received by the Contracting Officer within 30 calendar days of the date of the Government’s preliminary written notice of its intent to exercise the option, the Contractors shall have waived its right to an upward price adjustment for that option period. Alternatively, the Contracting Officer in its written notice shall exercise the option at the CCP or at a reduced price when appropriate using the formulas in paragraphs (b)(1) or (2) of this clause.

(f) Price adjustments shall be effected by execution of a contract modification by the Government indicating the most recent updated index and percent of change and shall apply to delivery orders placed on or after the first day of the option period.

(g) No price adjustment will be made unless the percentage change in the PPI is at least 1 percent.

NOTE: IN ANY OPTION PERIOD, THE CONTRACT PRICE MAY BE ADJUSTED UPWARD OR DOWNWARD A MAXIMUM OF 10 PERCENT. THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ADJUST THE CEILING WHEN MARKET CONDITIONS SUPPORT SUCH A CHANGE AS DETERMINED BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER.
