Strongest average month-over-month move historically: January (+2.4% avg).
Fits only a contract whose electronics scope is broader than semiconductors specifically, for example one spanning computer hardware alongside chips. Too broad to isolate a chip-price dispute, PCU3344 (Semiconductor and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) or a narrower product series should carry that clause instead.

The [affected portion] of the Contract Price shall be adjusted using US PPI — Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing (BLS series PCU334---334---), published by BLS. Base Period: the index value published for August 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.]

Split chips from the equipment that makes them. Chip prices index to BLS PCU334413334413 and move in sharp boom-bust cycles. Fab equipment indexes to PCU333242333242 and moves on a steadier capital-spending cycle. A shared index will misprice whichever side is not actually in its cycle phase.
