The [affected portion] of the Contract Price shall be adjusted using US PPI — Conveyor and Conveying Equipment Manufacturing (BLS series PCU333922333922), published by BLS.
Base Period: the index value published for August 2026 (or the month of contract signing, if different) is the 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.]
