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).

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.

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, based on the original or option period contract price; downward adjustments are not limited.
