Price Stability and Adjustments:

The awarded vendor agrees that all pricing proposed in response to this RFP shall remain firm for the duration of the contract term. Any proposed price adjustments:

1. Must be justified with verifiable documentation of actual cost increases from the manufacturer or supplier, including specific percentage increases and effective dates.

2. Require submission of a formal price adjustment request at least sixty [60] days prior to implementation, subject to mutual agreement between the vendor and the purchasing entity.

3. Shall be limited to a maximum annual increase of five percent [5%] cumulative across all products and services, regardless of individual item fluctuations, to prevent excessive cost fluctuations.

4. Must not apply to orders already placed, in process, or approved prior to the effective date of the mutually-approved price adjustment.

5. Will be evaluated against current market conditions and comparable competitive offerings to ensure continued best value.

6. May only be submitted once per term for the entire contract, with the total increase across all products not exceeding the [5%] cap referenced in provision 3.

In the event of extraordinary market events affecting product availability, the vendor must notify the purchasing entity within five [5] business days of becoming aware of potential disruptions. The vendor must propose alternative products of equal or greater quality at the originally contracted price. If no equivalent alternative at the contracted price is available, the vendor must: (i) provide comprehensive documentation and justification regarding the product’s availability; (ii) offer multiple alternative options and a list of their price points; (iii) obtain written approval before any substitutions or price modifications; and (iv) accept the purchasing entity’s right to source from alternative suppliers without penalty. The vendor may not unilaterally cancel product availability, impose surcharges, or implement minimum order quantities without prior written approval from the purchasing entity.
