What this means for your clause
A catch-all for electronic components with no dedicated series of their own. Use only when nothing more specific applies, and name the actual component in the clause so both sides know what it covers.
Draft a clause
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 — Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (BLS series PCU334419334419), 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.
Escalake tracks US PPI — Other Electronic Component Manufacturing, applies your formula, and gives both sides a number they can confirm, no spreadsheet required.
