Data & insights
Key figures
- From Jan 2024 to Aug 2026 the index went from 422.9 to 467.9, a change of +10.7%.
- Highest reading in that period: 467.9 in Aug 2026. Lowest: 420.6 in Apr 2024.
- Largest one-month rise: +4.1% in Jul 2026. Largest one-month fall: -1.0% in Apr 2024.
- The year-over-year change stayed within 10% either way in each of the last 20 months, so a 10% annual cap or floor would not have been reached.
Strongest average month-over-month move historically: October (+2.3% avg).
What this means for your clause
Escalates a finished power transformer supply contract more tightly than the full industry index would, since primary-products scope excludes non-transformer output from the same manufacturers. A drafter should still name the June 1981 base date explicitly in the clause, since older BLS bases are less familiar to readers than the more common 1982 reference period.
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 — Electric Power and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing, Primary Products (BLS series PCU335311335311P), 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.]
