(d)(2)(90) Each EPA clause is to be forwarded to the organization responsible for pricing policy, for review prior to inclusion in the solicitation or prior to business clearance for noncompetitive actions if the EPA clause was not anticipated when the solicitation was issued.
EPA clauses shall be structured with adjustment thresholds above and below the baseline which must be exceeded to trigger an upward or downward contract price adjustment.
The EPA clause shall provide that adjustments be made within a specified period after the final published index is available for the period to be measured. Adjustments should generally be made on a retroactive basis.
