Initial offer will not include the technical evaluation, therefore contractors will not be required to submit three nuts prior to closing date. Once the evaluation for past performance and price and price related factors has been completed, those contractors that are in the competitive range will be requested to submit three nuts for the technical evaluation. 2. An Economic Price Adjustment clause 52.216-70, shall be added to contract based on the Producer Price Index 3452. Pricing may be adjusted in accordance with the changes in the Producer Price Index every 12 months. It is the contractor's responsibility to request this adjustment. Adjustments may be requested for a period not to exceed 30 days after the eligible adjustment date. Requests that are made after the 30 day limit will not be honored and the contract pricing will not be adjusted. 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. The date the completed request is received by the Contracting Officer will be the effective date of any changes in price. The contractor also is required to request downward price adjustments. All downward adjustments will be retroactive to the authorized adjustment date as specified in this clause. If downward price adjustments are not requested and this is later revealed through audits or otherwise, the contractor shall reimburse the Government the amount overcharged plus interest. 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. In computing any contract price adjustment, the most recently published index as of the date of award will be compared to the most recent published index as of the date of adjustment. No adjustment shall be made if the referenced change is less than 2 percent Total upward adjustment for the contract period shall not exceed 10 percent, based on the original contract price; downward adjustments are not limited.
