The [affected portion] of the Contract Price shall be adjusted using US PPI — Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing (BLS series PCU335311335311), 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 the contract by what is being built: towers, fiber, data centers, or core network equipment. Most of these have no single official price index, so use a weighted composite of real cost inputs. Data centers are the exception: transformers (PCU335311335311) and switchgear (PCU335313335313) both have real, live BLS indices.
