Preparing for a Price Change TransactionPREPARING FOR A PRICE CHANGE TRANSACTIONReview the most recent PLIMS Data Extract to ensure the project data in PLIMS has current data as follows:• Pricing Memorandum Number 2 (PR-2) should be consulted for Commission definitions, policy, and
procedures as they pertain to AbilityOne products.• Unit of Issue – Ensure the “unit of issue” of record is accurate, usually by the most recent notice and/or data
extract. Changes to the unit of issue must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change.• Product Description - Ensure the product’s description is accurate and complete. Different NSNs cannot have
identical descriptions. Changes to the product description must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change.
• NSN Name – Ensure the product’s name is accurate and complete. Different National Stock Number (NSNs) cannot have identical names. Changes to the product name must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change.
• NSN – Ensure the NSN(s) per the concurrence documents match the NSN(s) to be included in the price change. If part of the request is to also update the NSN(s) from Temporary to Permanent NSN(s), and both sets of NSNs are listed on the concurrence documents, then a change Product NSN transaction must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change request.
• Multiple Contracting Activities/Nonprofit Agencies (NPAs) – Ensure: • All concurrence documents are signed by the agency addressed on the document. • All agencies on the Procurement List (PL) have concurred to the proposed prices and/or price change
mechanisms.• Contracting Activity – Ensure the Contracting Officer who signed the concurrence document is from the same
agency on the PL. If needed, a Change Product CA or an Add Product CA must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change.
• CA Code – Ensure the CA code corresponds to appropriate Contracting Activity. Changes to the Contracting Activity must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change.
• List Type – Ensure the list type for the AbilityOne commercial distribution system is correct. Changes to the list type must be submitted and approved before submitting the price change.
• All documentation required for price change must be submitted with the price change. Any documentation whether wholly or in part missing from price change submissions will be returned for correction. Emails separate from the transaction are not acceptable means of providing price change attachments.

PACKAGE DATA: Once you have clicked “Edit in full-screen mode,” IS will display the following screen.
Use the legend that follows to assist with completing the data fields. 1. CNA ID System defaults to the appropriate Central Nonprofit Agency (CNA).
2. CNA USER System automatically populates the CNA and user name of the package creator when Option 1 is selected to create a new package. If Option 2 is selected, revise each field to reflect the correct user, if necessary. Any submission with “ISTestUser” will be rejected.
3. IS RESUBMISSION? If the price change package is being submitted for the first time you should select ‘N’ to show the package is being submitted for the first time. If the package is being resubmitted select ‘Y.’
4. OLD TRANSACTION I.D. Enter the last transaction number of the last submission. If this is the first time the package is being submitted, leave this field blank. The Old Transaction ID will be noted in e-mail correspondence from Commission staff, or it can be found in the View submission history link of the package (Messages from the Commission).
5. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Briefly summarize any information that Commission staff should assess during their review of the price change package, especially any information that would facilitate an easier review of the transaction. Keep in mind that the Commission staff was not involved in the pricing and negotiation process. Therefore, users should attempt to fill in any gaps of information that are not readily discernible in the transaction.
The Executive Summary should contain the following information (see Appendix 3):1. The Contracting Activity’s contact information (name, email, and telephone number) if it is not provided in the
transaction fields.2. A reference to special instructions from the Commission staff. 3. A reference to supplementary documentation received directly from the Contracting Activity. 4. A reference to the description of the price change. 5. Explanation or description of any unique and/or unusual circumstances (e.g., Economic Price Adjustment clause).6. Requests for expedited processing, if applicable.
The executive summary should clearly explain the reasons and justification for the price change. The executive summary should not contain a solitary statement of “see attached summary” unless the information described above (1-6) has been entered and the character limitation for this field has been reached (1,000 characters).
Do not copy and paste from MS Office to IS as this will convert to unreadable special characters and the transaction will be returned for correction; IS only accepts text formats. Any strange characters within the Executive Summary will cause the package to be rejected.

12. PRICE CATEGORY The Price Category defines a single NSN’s price designation. A Price Category may not be used to distinguish prices for product characteristics, contracting activities or nonprofit agencies. Consult the Commission Staff before creating price categories that do not meet the examples in Appendix 6 (See Appendix 6 examples).
13.

Appendix 2Invoices and Quotes
FAR 2.101 describes cost and pricing data as:
“all the facts that can be reasonably expected to contribute to the soundness of estimates of future costs and to the validity of determinations of costs already incurred.”
FAR 15.404-1(c)(2)(B) states that “[v]erification of cost or pricing data and evaluation of cost elements,” for cost analysis, should include the “[p]rojection of the offeror’s cost trends, on the basis of current and historical cost or pricing data” (emphasis added). Accordingly, a recent invoice is preferred as documentation of the material costs associated with the new proposed price.
An invoice should be provided, unless one has not yet been issued, that reflects the actual material cost that will be incurred by the NPA (and that will be reflected in the proposed price). In such instances, a quote from the selected supplier, representing the actual cost the NPA will incur, should be used.
When a quote is provided, it must be valid. If the effective period indicated on the quote has expired, provide an explanation as to why the quote should be considered (e.g., the material components that will be used to manufacture the AbilityOne product were already acquired from the supplier during the effective period indicated on the quote).

Executive Summary Examples
Executive Summary: recommended-FMP based upon Negotiations ABC Group and DLC have negotiated a price change for the Product, NSN 1234-56-789-0000. The negotiated price is $145. Contracting Officer: Mary Wash, [email protected], (619) 445-4372.
ABC Group originally proposed $154.46, which represented a $19.00 increase from the previous PL price. Driving the price increase were major raw materials ($9.45 increase) and indirect cost ($8.91 increase).
DLC countered ABC Group’s original offer at $135.00. Through conversation and negotiations both parties agreed on the final contract price.
Executive Summary: Sales to Federal and Nonfederal Entities NPA12 sells NSN 7530-00-123-6879, through their commercial site and to other state agencies. The current contract price through all channels except the Federal Government is $250.00. Nonfederal contract prices will remain the same for 10 years. (See attachments for Nonfederal Contracts)
21USOP3-0033 VERSION A Downloaded and hard copies are uncontrolled. Verify the version in use against the electronic version in dmacs.sourceamerica.org
The current contract price for Federal sales is $225.00. A negotiated price of $240.00 is submitted for approval. Contracting Officer: Henry Wadsworth, [email protected], (528) 334-3261.
Since NPA12 has exclusive rights to the NSN, the parties agreed to a price that did not exceed the commercial price, $250.
Executive Summary: Recommended-FMP based upon NPA’s costs
NPA-X and USD have negotiated a price change for the Product, NSN 2145-47-687-0540. The negotiated price was based solely on the NPA’s costs. Contracting Officer: Ted Bear, [email protected], (527) 226-2156.
The increase in price is related to an increase in raw material, a slight increase in standard allowable hours and an increase in indirect cost as described below:
Raw material (See attachments – Quotes: Raw materials): Steel increased $11.00. Paint increased $14.40. NPA is manufacturing the hinges which decreased the purchased products cost by $5.50, but had a reverse impact on labor cost which increased 8.81%.
Labor Cost: Standard Allowable Hours increased with the move to produce the hinges verses procuring the piece. Per unit cost increased by $1.4853 or 8.81%.
Indirect Cost: NPA was able to either maintain or decrease slightly their current indirect cost elements (Overhead, G&A and CNA fee). Overhead decreased slightly from 125% to 119.25%, both G&A and the CNA fee remained the same (7.6% and 3.85%, respectively).
Executive Summary: RESUBMISSION: Recommended-FMP based upon Negotiations This transaction complies with Commission Staff instructions provided in the previous submission’s rejection email. (See attachment – Commission Returned email for TID 12534).
ABC Group and DLC have negotiated a price change for the Product, NSN 1234-56-789-0000. The negotiated price is $145. Contracting Officer: Mary Wash, [email protected], (619) 445-4372.

Appendix 4Producer Price Index (PPI) Process
TimetablesMid-July each year.Between mid-July and up until the annual notice is transmitted to the Contracting Activities and CNAs, the Commission shall not process any price change requests for products that use PPI as the price change mechanism; therefore, it is essential that PPI price change transactions be submitted prior to mid-July.
August 1 each year.The Commission shall issue an annual price change notice with all the data used to calculate the new product FMPs. These notices must be used to monitor the Base Dates, Series ID, and 25% caps on FMPs.
November 1 each year.The Commission shall publish a PPI Price Change Schedule for the subsequent calendar year that communicates milestone dates. Pursuant to that schedule, the Commission staff shall compute the FMPs for AbilityOne Products that have PPI as the price change mechanism.
Development of an AbilityOne Product’s Initial Recommended-FMP Based on PPI.The Contracting Activity’s and NPA’s agreement to use the price change mechanism of PPI shall include the following three elements for each product:
Series ID;Base Index; and Base Price.
Changes to the Product’s FMPs during the PPI Process Period.The PPI process runs for a period of 5 years (i.e., five years before May 1 of the current year), or until the end of the product’s contract period. The Commission shall use the Series ID, Base Index, and Base Price as the bases for changing future prices within the PPI process. At the end of the 5-year period, the price change mechanism shall be changed to Negotiations and the current FMP shall remain in effect until renegotiated.
If the Contracting Activity, NPAs, and CNAs agree to modify a product’s price within the 5- year period or in cases in which any of the three elements become obsolete, the Contracting Activity, NPAs, and CNAs shall negotiate a new Recommended-FMP in accordance with Commission PR-2 Product’s Recommended-FMP Development.Calculation of FMP for Products Using the PPI Price Change Mechanism.
New FMPs shall be calculated during the month of July using adjustments based on the BLS PPI data for June of the current year, and shall become effective the following January 1. The Commission shall determine the new FMP using the following calculation:
(New June PPI Index – Base Index) + 1 X Base Price = FMP* Base Index
* The new FMP is capped at 1.25% of the Base Price.

Commission Annual Price Change Notice.
After AbilityOne product prices are computed using the PPI process, the new Annual Price Change Notice for Products using PPI as the price change mechanism shall be generated and transmitted to the Contracting Activities and CNAs. The prices are final and changes are considered out of cycle and the Commission staff will process them according to PR-2.

36 PRODUCTS PRICE CHANGE USER MANUAL
APPROVED EXCEPTIONS:
Identifier used within the pricing section to distinguish prices on the Procurement List for identical NSNs.
Option Years or Periods
Example
The Contracting Activity requires the product under a multiple year (period) fixed-priced contract. There will be a base period and 2 options.
IS Entries
Price Category FOB Origin Price Freight FOB Destination Price
Base Price $2.30 $ - $ -
Option Year 1 $2.35 $ - $ -
Option Year 2 $2.40 $ - $ -
The NSN is on a multiple period contract and therefore has 3 different FOB Origin prices. The price category corresponds to the period per the contract.
Quantity Breaks
Example
During negotiations, the Contracting Activity and NPA agreed to discount the NSN price based upon quantities purchased.
IS Entries
Price Category FOB Origin Price Freight FOB Destination Price
Normal - 1 - 1,000 $2.30 $ - $ -
Normal - 1,001 - 2,000
$2.25 $ - $ -
Normal - 2,001 - up $2.20 $ - $ -
The NSN has 3 different prices because of the quantity breaks. Should the federal agency purchase the NSN in the quantities identified within the price category then they would pay the corresponding price.
Multiple Destinations
Example
The Contracting Activity requires the products be delivered to 2 separate warehouses, one in Tracy, CA and the other one in Philadelphia, PA.
IS Entries
Price Category FOB Origin Price Freight FOB Destination Price
Normal - Tracy, CA $2.30 $0.89 $3.19
Normal - Philadelphia, PA
$2.30 $0.59 $2.89
The FOB Origin Price will be the same but the price for Freight will differ because of the 2 locations.
37USOP3-0033 VERSION A Downloaded and hard copies are uncontrolled. Verify the version in use against the electronic version in dmacs.sourceamerica.org
Different Packaging Requirements
Example
The Contracting Activity requires different packaging for the same NSN. There are no changes to the actual product’s specifications. All changes pertain to the packaging.
IS Entries
Price Category FOB Origin Price Freight FOB Destination Price
Normal - Recycled Packaging
$2.39 $ - $ -
Normal - Plastic Wrap
$2.19 $ - $ -
Normal - Loose $2.00 $ - $ -
The NSN has 3 different types of packaging required by the Contracting Activity. The “Normal - Loose” price category is without packaging and therefore its unit price is less than those prices where distinct packaging requirements are needed.
Delivery Requirements (Surge, XX -Day Delivery, One Time Buys)
Example
The Contracting Activity requires a NSN to be delivered based upon a different timing mechanism than what was previously negotiated. This could be due to a surge in their requirement or they need the NSN faster than expected. There are no changes to the actual product’s specifications.
IS Entries
Price Category FOB Origin Price Freight FOB Destination Price
Normal - Surge $3.39 $0.30 $3.69
Normal - 60-day Delivery
$2.89 $0.30 $3.19
Normal - One Time Buys
$2.49 $0.30 $2.79
Normal $2.09 $0.30 $2.39
The NSN has four methods through which the Contracting Activity can purchase the NSN depending on the Contracting Activity’s immediate requirement.
Consult the Commission Staff before creating price categories that do not meet the examples above.
