Same numbers as the chart, straight from BLS. Dates are the first of each period, the way BLS reports them.
Turbines rose 3.6% over the last 12 months, but 2 of its main inputs rose faster: steel mill products +27.6%, nickel and nickel-base alloy mill shapes +10.6%. That cost pressure may still pass through to prices.

A starting point citing this series by name and code. Replace the bracketed terms with your contract's actual scope before use.
The [affected portion] of the Contract Price shall be adjusted using US PPI — Turbine and Turbine Generator Set Manufacturing (BLS series PCU333611333611), published by BLS. Base Period: the index value published for September 2026 (or the month of contract signing, if different) is the Base Value. Adjustment: at each Adjustment Date, the Current Value is the most recently published three-month average of the index (the Averaging Window). The Escalation Factor equals Current Value divided by Base Value. Cap: the Escalation Factor applied under this clause shall not exceed 1.10 or fall below 0.90 (a 10% cap and floor) in any single Adjustment Date, regardless of the index's actual movement. [Replace bracketed terms with your contract's actual affected-portion definition and adjustment-date schedule before use. This is a drafting starting point, not legal advice.]
Used to escalate the propulsion-system share of naval shipbuilding contracts, alongside shipbuilding steel and shipyard labor.
Split defense contracts into aircraft, naval, land systems, missiles, and small arms. Aircraft (PCU336411336411), naval systems (PCU336611336611), and small arms/ordnance manufacturing (PCU33299T33299T) have real, published US government price indices. Land systems and missiles do not, confirmed by direct check against the BLS API. Build those two from a weighted input composite instead.
Escalake tracks US PPI — Turbine and Turbine Generator Set Manufacturing, applies your formula, and gives both sides a number they can confirm, no spreadsheet required.
