C09 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT - DEPARTMENT OF LABOR INDEX (FEB 2024)

(a) Warranties. The contractor warrants that--

(1) The base unit prices set forth in the Schedule do not include allowances for any portion of the contingency covered by this procurement note; and

(2) Prices invoiced shall be computed in accordance with the terms of this procurement note.

(b) Definitions. As used throughout this procurement note --

(1) "Index", for the purpose of price adjustment under this procurement note, means the Producer Price Index(es) reported in the monthly publication entitled, “Producer Price Indexes”, published by the United States (U.S.) Department of Labor (DOL), Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for the following code number(s) and title(s): PCU3324393324393 (contracting officer fill-in) Other Metal Containers - Steel Shipping Barrels and Drums (over 12 gallons);

or the Employment Cost Index(es) reported in the quarterly publication entitled, “Employment Cost Indexes,” published by the United States (U.S.)

Department of Labor (DOL), Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for the following code number(s) and title(s): (contracting officer fill-in) .

(2) "Base index" is the arithmetic average of the final version of the indexes published for the 3 months, or quarters for ECI, preceding the closing date for receipt of proposals or the date required for receipt of final proposal revisions, if discussions were held.

(3) "Adjusting index" means the X arithmetic average of the [ X ] first published or [ ] final version of the index for the 3 months, or quarters for ECI, prior to the month in which the adjusting contract modification is effective.

(4) "Base unit price" means the unit price applicable to a quantity of a contract line item established at contract award, exclusive of any price adjustment pursuant to this procurement note.

(5) “Adjustment period” means the period during which a particular adjustment to the unit price under this procurement note (calculated at the beginning of the adjustment period) will apply. The length of each adjustment period in months is the number of adjustments allowed per year in (c)(1) below divided by 12.

(c) Adjustments. Prior to the end of each adjustment period, the contracting officer will calculate the adjusting index and any adjusted contract unit price(s) for the new adjustment period, and modify the contract accordingly. The contracting officer will make price adjustments in accordance with this procurement note by issuing a contract modification showing the base index, the adjusting index, the base unit price, the mathematical calculations, and the changed unit price(s). The price adjustment shall apply to orders issued after the effective date of the contract modification establishing the unit price for the adjustment

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 9 OF 33 PAGES

SPE8E9-26-Q-0417

SECTION C - SPECIFICATIONS/SOW/SOO/ORD (CONTINUED)

period. The contracting officer will base the price adjustment(s) for each adjustment period on the percentage change between the base index and the adjusting index for the adjustment period, as applied to the base unit price

(1) The contractor shall decrease its price in any particular adjustment period if the adjusting index is less than the base index. This contract allows 2 price adjustments per contract year.

(2) Example of adjustment calculation:

Header Header Base Index = 109.88*

Adjusting index = 112.72* Less base index = 109.88 Change to index = 2.84

Divide change to index by base index =

2.84 / 109.88 = .02585 (2.585%)**

Multiply by the base unit price =

$50.00 x .02585 = $1.29***

= Unit Price Adjustment Adjusted unit price = $51.29

* In computing the base and adjusting indexes, the resulting figure shall be rounded to the second decimal place.

** This figure shall be rounded to the fifth decimal place.

*** All dollar figures shall be rounded to the nearest cent.

(d) The aggregate of the increases in any contract unit price under the terms of this procurement note shall not exceed 10% % (percent) of the original base unit 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 provisions of this clause will be required that will exceed the adjustment ceiling 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 increase in the index would raise a contract unit price for an item above the current ceiling, the contracting officer may issue 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.

(e) Invoices. The prices payable under this contract will be based on the latest adjusted unit price incorporated into the contract as of the date of order.

(f) Retroactive adjustment. This paragraph applies only if the contracting officer selected “first published index” in paragraph (b)(3). If the Government has already paid for orders delivered during an adjustment period, the contractor may request a retroactive adjustment. The contracting officer will, base the retroactive adjustment on the difference between a higher final revised index applicable to an adjustment period and the index values used in calculating the unit price for that adjustment period, subject to the adjustment ceiling in paragraph (d) and under] the following conditions:

(1) The request for equitable adjustment clearly establishes that the unit price adjustment for the adjustment period would have been higher if the final revised index had been used;, and identifies all invoices and payments to which it applies cites the specific index differences relating to the requested adjustment, and provides a calculation of the total net price adjustment for items delivered during that adjustment period.
