B-0002 B19.02 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT (OVERSEAS) (DLA ENERGY JAN 2012)
(a) WARRANTIES. The Contractor warrants that--
(1) The unit prices set forth in the Schedule do not include allowances for any portion of the contingency covered by this contract provision; and
(2) The prices to be invoiced hereunder shall be computed in accordance with the provisions of this contract.
(b) DEFINITIONS. As used throughout this contract provision, the term--
(1) Award price means the unit price offered by the Contractor and set forth opposite the item in the Schedule.
(2) Reference price means the market price, this is either published in an independent publication or supplied by the Contractor, with which the award price is to fluctuate. The reference price should be a market price for the same or similar product(s) as the item being purchased.
(3) Date of delivery means--
(i) FOR TANKER OR BARGE DELIVERIES.
(A) F.O.B. ORIGIN. The date and time vessel commences loading;
(B) F.O.B. DESTINATION. The date and time vessel commences discharging;
(ii) FOR PIPELINE DELIVERIES. The date and time product commences to move past the specified f.o.b. point;
and
(iii) FOR ALL OTHER TYPES OF DELIVERIES. The date product is received.
(c) ADJUSTMENTS. The prices payable under this contract shall be the award price increased or decreased by the amount, determined according to the following formula that the reference price shall have increased or decreased, to and including the date of delivery.
(1) The amount of increase or decrease in the award price shall be based on the same number of cents, or fraction thereof, that the reference price increases or decreases per like unit of measure.
(2) The reference price with which the award price for the listed item is to fluctuate (and which is more fully defined in the Table below) is-- [ ] (i) The low price published in ________________________________________________________.
(Name of publication)
[X] (ii) The average of the prices published in _________PLATTS OILGRAM__________________ (Name of publication)
[ ] (iii) The established price posted by_________________________________________________ and (Name of company) published in _________________________________________________________ (name of publication)
(3) COMMERCIAL. For price adjustments utilizing commercial publications such as Platts Oilgram, etc., the reference price in effect on the date of delivery shall be that item’s reference price that is in effect for the dates in the Table below. If an effective date is not cited in a publication, then the date of publication shall apply. An increase or decrease in any reference price published in a trade price service or in a commercial journal shall apply only to deliveries made on or after the effective date of such trade price service or commercial journal. In the event of a holiday for which an effective date is not used, the latest effective price(s) prior to the effective date shall be used. NOTE: 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 the 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.
(4) NONCOMMERCIAL (NOTIFICATION). For price adjustments utilizing a reference price indicator other than commercial publications such as Platts Oilgram, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of any changes in the reference price in writing within 15 calendar days from the date thereof.
(i) INCREASES. Any increase in unit price as a result of an increase in reference 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 product supplied in the form of delivery made at the point of delivery. Also, no notification 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.
http://www.platts.com/
OSP Page 8 of 43
(ii) DECREASES. If the Contractor fails to notify the Contracting Officer of any decrease in the reference price, within the allotted 15 day period, such decrease shall apply to all deliveries made on or after the effective date of such decrease. However, if any overpayment is made to the Contractor as a result of the Contractor’s failure to give timely notice to the Contracting Officer of any decrease in the established price, 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 the Disputes paragraph of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERICAL ITEMS clause of this contract.
(5) Where the reference price is the Contractor’s established price (see (c)(2)(iii) above), the Contractor warrants that the product selected is one for which, except for modification required by the specifications of this contract, the Contractor has an established price. Such price is the net price after applying any applicable standard trade discounts offered by the Contractor for its catalog, list, or schedule price. The Contractor further warrants that, as of the current date, any differences between the unit prices of the line items identified in the Schedule and the Contractor's established price for like quantities of the nearest commercial equivalents of such contract items are due to compliance with contract specifications and to compliance with any requirements that this contract may contain for preservation, packaging, and packing beyond standard commercial practice.
(d) MODIFICATIONS. Any resultant price changes shall be provided via notification through contract modifications and/or postings to the DLA Energy web page at http://www.desc.dla.mil under the heading Vendor Resources and then Product Price Adjustments.
(e) 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 the Excusable Delays and Termination for Cause paragraphs of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause of the this contract in which case the contract shall be amended to make an equitable extension of the delivery schedule.
(f) 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, except as provided hereafter:
(1) 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 the Contractor believes is sufficient to permit completion of remaining contract performance, along with appropriate explanation and documentation as required by the Contracting Officer.
(2) 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, unless the Contracting Officer issues a contract modification to raise the ceiling. If the contract ceiling will not be raised, the Contracting Officer shall so promptly notify the Contractor in writing.
(g) REVISION OF REFERENCE PRICE INDICATOR. In the event—
(1) Any applicable reference price is discontinued or its method of derivation is altered substantially;
(2) The reference price is an average of published or posted prices, and any one price ceases to be published or posted;
(3) The reference price is published in a trade price service or commercial journal and such publication ceases to publish said reference price or changes its method of quoting prices; or
(4) The Contracting Officer determines that the reference price consistently and substantially failed to reflect market conditions— the parties shall mutually agree upon an appropriate and comparable substitute for determining the price adjustment described 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 the Disputes paragraph of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause of this contract.
(h) 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 contract provision, apply unless otherwise specified in the Schedule.
(i) EXAMINATION OF RECORDS. The Contractor agrees that the Contracting Officer or designated representatives shall have the right to examine the Contractor’s books, records, documents, or other data the Contracting Officer deems necessary to verify Contractor adherence to the provisions of this contract provision.
(j) FINAL INVOICE. The Contractor shall include a statement on the final invoice that the amounts invoiced hereunder have applied all decreases required by this contract provision.

Therefore, the effective price for the period of the 1st through the 30th /31st will be the average of the high and low assessments for the previous month’s assessments posted on the 1st of each month. Saturdays and Sundays shall be considered as Platt’s non-publication days. If assessments are not posted by Platt’s during the period that delivery was made due to a holiday or another occurrence, only the posted assessments for that period will be used in the calculation.
