(3) If the Government urgently requires delivery of any quantity of an item before the earliest date that delivery may be specified under this contract, and if the Contractor will not accept an order providing for the accelerated delivery, the Government may acquire the urgently required goods or services from another source.

(4) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor within the time specified in the order.

(2) The prices to be invoiced hereunder shall be computed in accordance with the conditions of this contract provision.

(b) DEFINITIONS. As used throughout this contract provision—

(1) The term award price means the unit price set forth opposite the item in the Schedule.

(2) The term market price means the price or average of prices for the same or similar commodity within a market which is beyond the control of the Contractor, set forth in the publication(s) listed in the Table in paragraph (j) below, from which the award price is to fluctuate.

(3) The term date of delivery means the date and time product under this contract is delivered into-plane.

(4) The term week means a consecutive seven-day period beginning on a Monday.

(5) The term published means issued either in print or electronic format by the service designated to be employed as an escalator, unless otherwise specifically stated. In the event of a conflict between the prices set forth in the print version and those set forth in the electronic version for the same date, the electronic version shall prevail.

(c) ADJUSTMENTS.

(1) The prices payable under this contract shall be adjusted upward or downward through issuance of contract price change modifications or web price changes during the period of performance.

(2) The prices payable hereunder shall be determined by changing the award price by the same number of cents, or fraction thereof, that the market price increases or decreases, as measured in U.S. dollars, per like unit of measure. The frequency of adjustments will be noted in paragraph (j) for each applicable item.

(3) An increase or decrease in the market price shall apply, provided the notification requirements in paragraph (4) below have been met, only to deliveries made on or after the effective date of the price change as stated in the publication.

(4) NOTIFICATION. If required in paragraph (j), the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer, Defense Logistics Agency Energy (DLA Energy), of any change in the market price within 15 days from the date thereof. Increases received after the 15-day notification period shall be effective on the date they are received by the Contracting Officer. Decreases shall be effective the date of the decrease in the price notification to the Contracting Officer and prices shall be adjusted retroactively.

(i) INCREASES. Any increase in the unit price as a result of an increase in the market price shall apply only to deliveries made on or after the date of receipt by the Contracting Officer of a written notification from the Contractor of such increase. However, the prices payable under this contract shall in no event exceed the Contractor’s posted or established selling price in effect on the date of delivery for the same product. No modification incorporating an increase in a contract unit price shall be executed pursuant to this contract provision until the increase has been verified by the Contracting Officer.

(ii) DECREASES. Price decreases shall apply to deliveries made on or after the effective date of such decrease. If the Contractor fails to notify the Contracting Officer of any decrease in the market price within the allotted 15-day period, and an overpayment is made to the Contractor as a result of the Contractor’s failure to give timely notice to the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall be charged interest on such overpayment from the date of the overpayment to the date of reimbursement by the Contractor for the overpayment in accordance with paragraph (d), Disputes, of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause of this contract.

(5) DAY OF PUBLICATION. Will be specified for each item in paragraph (j).

(6) PRICE ADJUSTMENT NOTIFICATIONS/MODIFICATIONS. The Contracting Officer will issue a contract price change modification or web price adjustment notification to reflect any change pursuant to this provision.

Contract price adjustments shall be provided via notification through contract modifications and/or posting to the DLA Energy web page at http://www.desc.dla.mil under the heading Vendor Resources and then Product Price Adjustments.

(7) UPWARD CEILING ON ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT. The Contractor agrees that the total increase in any contract unit price pursuant to these economic price adjustment provisions shall not exceed 375 percent of the award price in any applicable program year (whether a single year or a multiyear program), except as provided hereafter.

(i) If at any time the Contractor has reason to believe that within the near future a price adjustment under the conditions of this contract provision will be required that will exceed the current contract ceiling price for any item, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing of the expected increase. The notification shall include a revised ceiling sufficient to permit completion of remaining contract performance, along with appropriate explanation and documentation as required by the Contracting Officer.

http://www.desc.dla.mil/

(ii) If an actual increase in the reference price would raise a contract unit price for an item above the current ceiling, the Contractor shall have no obligation under this contract to fill pending or future orders for such item, as of the effective date of the increase, until the Contracting Officer issues either a contract modification to raise the ceiling or written notification that the ceiling will not be raised.

(8) REVISION OF MARKET PRICE INDICATOR. In the event—

(i) Any applicable market price is discontinued or its method of derivation is altered substantially; or

(ii) The Contracting Officer determines that the market price indicator consistently and substantially failed to reflect market conditions— The parties shall agree upon an appropriate and comparable substitute for determining the price adjustments hereunder. The contract shall be modified to reflect such substitute effective on the date the indicator was discontinued, altered, or began to consistently and substantially fail to reflect market conditions. If the parties fail to agree on an appropriate substitute, the matter shall be resolved in accordance with paragraph (d), Disputes, of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause of this contract.

(9) CORRECTIONS. Platts issues corrections to its published prices on a regular basis. Platts posts corrections to its website (www.platts.com for its subscribers). If a correction to a reference price is found on Platts website, all of the items that use that reference price will be corrected. DLA Energy will correct any other reference prices as notice of the correction is received. DLA Energy will work with the pricing services to determine the appropriate price, whenever an offeror or contractor can show that the price referenced should be reviewed.

(d) FAILURE TO DELIVER. Notwithstanding any other conditions of this contract provision, no upward adjustment shall apply to product scheduled under the contract to be delivered before the effective date of the adjustment, unless the Contractor’s failure to deliver according to the delivery schedule results from causes beyond the Contractor’s control and without its fault or negligence, within the meaning of paragraphs (f), Excusable Delays, and (m), Termination for Cause, of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause of this contract, in which case the contract shall be amended to make an equitable extension of the delivery schedule.

(e) IMPORTANT: All of the proposed market prices listed in the Table below must meet the provisions set forth under the EVALUATION OF OFFERS SUBJECT TO ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT provision.

(f) CONVERSION FACTORS. If this contract provision requires quantity conversion for economic price adjustment purposes, the conversion factors for applicable products, as specified in the CONVERSION FACTORS provision, apply unless otherwise specified in the Schedule.
